I just watched In the Hands of the Prophets for the first time a few days ago. The conversations between her and Sisko are master class in acting. The way Avery expresses Sisko holding it together, when you know he just wants to unleash on her. And the way she delivers her lines cold and they cut so deep, all while having a smile on her face. It is so good it is scary.
She delivers the line, “May the Prophets forgive you for abandoning them” like she is spitting at him, but is very monotone and matter of fact with a smirk. I honestly don’t know how she does it.

She’s probably one of the top five rage/hate/appreciate combination of an actor and character in television.
