* TruceTrickery: A guerrilla war breaks out in the Federation-Cardassian Demilitarized Zone between Federation and Cardassian settlers, with the Cardassian Empire eventually proven to be arming its own settlers to prosecute a deniable ProxyWar against the Federation despite the peace treaty they signed late in ''The Next Generation''. This ultimately leads to the formation of the Maquis, a militia raised from among the Federation colonies that then also turns its guns on Starfleet when [[HonorBeforeReason the Federation refuses to resume hostilities despite the Cardassians' repeated blatant disregard for the treaty]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Kira and Sisko are both surprised the Cardassians have been slow to react to the destruction. A Cardassian ship blown up in Bajoran space would guarantee an instant retaliatory strike. It's never explicitly confirmed if the ''Bok'Nor'' had been carrying weapons or not. But clearly Central Command's worried Starfleet's will find evidence of the DMZ Treaty violations and they're working to cover their asses as quickly as possible. This will lead to Samuels' abduction and culminate with Dukat being tossed under the bus next episode.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted with Dukat on the trip back to [=DS9=]. For a moment, it seems like Dukat is just as disgusted as Sisko at Samuels' 'suicide'...only to reveal instead that he's actually disgusted with ''Evek'' over botching the interrogation and killing his own prisoner.

He rightly points out that however angry Sisko is with Samuels' death in Cardassian hands, Samuels ''did'' commit a terrorist act and ''did'' kill 78 people when the ''Bok'Nor'' blew.

* AttractiveBentGender: Cal and Sisko can't help discussing how Dax is now a beautiful woman. Cal muses how discomforting it is that a woman now knows more about him than any woman has before (implying that he used to carouse with Curzon). Sisko claims he isn't bothered by it, but not to the extent of starting a relationship with Jadzia, because in his mind she's still Dax.
