** The Cardassian Union protesting the death of Gul Toran would probably reveal that he was planning to execute dissidents on a Federation-Bajoran installation, which would prove diplomatically embarrassing.

* StatusQuoIsGod: This episode shows that Quark has a more serious side, and the ending implies he's still holding a candle for Natima, the love of his life. But Natima is never seen or mentioned again, and just two episodes later, in [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS02E20TheMaquis "The Maquis Part I"]], Quark is back to his womanising ways, trying to seduce Sakonna.

** Quark has a disruptor out when he's escorting Natima, ''et al'' to their ship. When Garak steps out of hiding, he takes Quark's distruptor away. When Toran steps out of hiding, he takes Garak's disruptor away, but never checks for a second gun. Garak still has Quark's disruptor, so he uses that to kill Toran.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never found out how the crew of the Cardassian warship reacted to their captain mysteriously disappearing at the same time the dissidents they were hunting manage to escape Deep Space Nine.

* SeriesContinuityError: The Bajorans turn over Natima in exchange for captives the Cardassians are holding...even though all remaining Bajoran prisoners were supposedly released earlier this season in "Homecoming."

* KavorkaMan: Natima is pretty for a Cardassian. And she loves...Quark.

to:

* KarmaHoudini: Garak kills Gul Toran in cold blood and is never held accountable, since neither station security nor the crew of the Cardassian warship seem to notice or mind. While Garak could probably convince Odo and Sisko that he acted in self defense, you'd expect the Cardassians to raise hell about a high ranking officer being murdered, but apparently, nobody cares much about Toran.
* KavorkaMan: Natima is pretty for a Cardassian. And she loves... Quark.



* NewOldFlame: Hey, remember the love of Quark's life that he's never mentioned before?



* RememberTheNewGuy: Hey, remember the love of Quark's life that he's never, ever mentioned before?


Added DiffLines:

* SwissCheeseSecurity:
** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Odo when he deliberately lets Natima and her students escape from the holding cells.
** Played straight when Garak kills Toran, no one seems to notice that someone is ''vaporized'' in one of the cargo bays.

** The cloaking device.

** The cloaking device.device is mentioned early on by Odo when he grills Quark about it. It turns out Quark does have one and uses it to help Natima escape.
