It doesn't "vaguely" resemble the theme, it *is* the theme, if only a small piece of it.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: In a recorded message, Admiral Haden tells Picard that, regardless of what information or support Starfleet Command sends him, it will ultimately be Picard's decision whether or not to believe Jarok and to take the plunge into the Neutral Zone. Haden's tone makes clear that he doesn't envy Picard the responsibility. Picard, likewise, lampshades the trope with his ShoutOut to ''Theatre/HenryV'':
-->''Now if these men do not die well, it'll be a black matter for the king who led them to it.''

* XanatosGambit: The Romulans set up one to test Jarok's loyalty after his falling out with the Empire's military and political leaders. If Jarok doesn't take the bait about the fake military buildup, then he's still a loyal officer and they don't have to worry about him (for now, anyway). If he ''does'' take it, then they've settled all doubts about his lack of patriotism (and can use him as a cat's paw to trick the Federation Flagship into breaking the Treaty of Algeron, enter the Neutral Zone, and capture it). The Gambit only fails because they underestimate Picard (who's ProperlyParanoid and has an ace up his sleeve ready just in case.

* UngratefulBastard: Jarok is a prick to the crew of the ''Enterprise'', even though he's seeking asylum on their ship. In the end Picard tells him to stop screwing around and commit to helping them infiltrate Romulan space--he's a traitor and he needs to face up to that.

** During his final plea to Picard, Jarok mentions that his arguments to Romulan military leadership had gotten him censured and reassigned several months earlier. This later sets up Picard's EurekaMoment at Nelvana III and realizing what's ''really'' going on here.

* HiddenFirstActParallel: The episode starts with Data performing a holodeck simulation of Henry V, where the titular king poses as a civilian, but Data is confused as to why King Henry would pose as a commoner. Picard states that Henry wanted to share his men's fears before they went into battle. Later in the episode, the titular Romulan defector that the Enterprise encounters later reveals himself to be a high-ranking Admiral, desperate to help the Federation, as the Romulans seem to be planning an incursion into Federation space.
