* {{Padding}}: The sequence with K’Ehleyr arriving in a modified probe, with all the technical details covered in exhausting depth. As soon as it's done they move on as if it never happened, and she may as well have beamed over for all it impacts the plot.

* HarsherInHindsight: K'Ehleyr saying to Worf "Maybe someday, [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E7Reunion when our paths cross again]], I won't be as easy to get rid of." Well, not unless one of Worf's enemies has something to say about that...

** Klingon society as seen in some of the expanded universe materials shows that it's actually K'Ehleyr's attitude towards sex that is the norm, and Worf is yet again suffering from his upbringing via the letter of Klingon tradition rather than the actuality.

** The Calisthenics scene has some of this as well. The fifth-season [=DS9=] episode "Looking for Par'Mach in All The Wrong Places" establishes the Klingon legend of their first major ruler, Kahless, and his consort, Lukara. Apparently, re-enacting a legend where they battled off an entire army by day, then made love that night, is a popular courting routine. Looking back, is this what Worf and K'Ehleyr unwittingly ended up doing?

* HilariousInHindsight: The next ''Trek'' series, ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'', would revolve around a character titled the Emissary. For new viewers, this can even lead to a little confusion and surprise that this episode has nothing to do with the franchise-wide Bajor plotline (the Bajorans wouldn't even be introduced until "Ensign Ro", two and a half years later).
