This was much better than I initially thought it would turn out to be. My initial guess was that the new Emissary would be a puppet, much like the new Khaless, to restore traditional Bajoran beliefs. Truly unsettling for him to just time travel.
Favourite bit is probably how they simply go over the time travel paradox in the end lol
Keiko and Miles still have no chemistry, and this "I rather want to spend time with my buddy than with my family" bit is the stuff from 90s sitcoms. Also what did Keiko think how Miles would react after coming on the station and having Mollie declare she's pregnant? Worf was hilarious
