After a member of Kira's former Shakaar Resistance group is killed, she receives a recording warning that several more of her old comrades-in-arms will die. Unable to stop the carnage, Kira comes to the terrifying conclusion that she is next on the hit list (and, by extension, so is her unborn child). Racing against time, she must expose the identity of the vendetta-seeking assassin, and what she learns is both shocking and saddening. First broadcast January 6, 1997, "The Darkness and the Light" was scripted by Ronald D. Moore from a story by Rene Echevarria.
