Technically there are 5 episodes dealing with the mirror universe, but they only go in 4. I can't remember the name of the last one. In order is:

  1. Crossover (season 2) - An engine malfunction in the wormhole sends Bashir and Kira to the Mirror Universe last visited by Kirk, Uhura, Scotty and McCoy. Things have changed, now as humans are now enslaved, and Bajor is a major player in a Klingon/Cardassian controlled Alpha Quadrant. Kira's double, the evil Intendant over Terok Nor, informs them that, after the major impact the last crossover made, death is the penalty for anyone who crosses over. Meanwhile, Garak hopes to use Kira in a double-cross against her counterpart. Slavemaster Odo is killed by Bashir, and Quark is killed for smuggling humans out of Terok Nor
  2. Through the Looking Glass (season 3) - Smiley, aka Mirror Universe Miles O'Brien, crosses over to kidnap Sisko so that he can replace his recently deceased counterpart as head of the rebellion. The major part of their plan involves getting Sisko to get a human scientist working for the Alliance to change sides before she can complete a project that will cripple the rebellion. The scientist is Jennifer Sisko! Guest Stars Tim Russ as Tuvok!
  3. Shattered Mirror (season 4) - Jennifer crosses over to lure Jake to cross over in hopes of luring Benjamin to cross over. The Rebellion has taken over Terok Nor and captured the Intendant, but the Klingon fleet is on the way, under the personal command of Regent Worf. The Rebellion needs Benjamin's help with something they've been building...their own DEFIANT. The Klingon fleet is repelled, but Jennifer is killed by an escaping Intendant (Kira), who also killed Nog, who released her. P.S. Rom, too, is dead
  4. Resurrection (season 6) - Kira is doubly surprised when she is taken hostage by Bariel. Of course, it's not Vedek Bariel, who died several years earlier, but mirror universe Bariel. He claims that he is running from the alliance, but he, with mirror-Kira in tow, are really planning to steal the Orb of Prophecy to use it to unite Bajor in a holy war against the Alliance. His exposure to the orbs vision may make him stray from his mission.
  5. The Emperor's New Cloak (season 7) - In this final visit to the mirror universe, the grand Nagus crosses over to see what economic opportunities there are. The Alliance recognizes this visit as an opportunity to get their hands on cloaking technology, and hold the Nagus hostage. Rom comes to the rescue with a bogus cloak, and Regent Worf is captured. Mirror Leeta and Ezri are featured, and they are more than friends.
