* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Scotty steals the USS ''Yorktown'' and an old-school Romulan cloaking device from a Starfleet museum to rescue Spock. He's aware that neither will hold out for long if he has to fight, but they're good enough that he's able to basically take the Romulans by surprise.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Invoked; while Spock is surprised to see Scotty basically unaged after an absence of over seventy-five years, he reflects that if anyone could find a way to pull that off he's not surprised that it was Montgomery Scott.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: After [=McCoy=] becomes frustrated with Picard's apparent hesitation and unwillingness to take decisive action during the negotiations with the Romulan Senate to take custody of the Unificationists, [=McCoy=] officially takes command of the ''Enterprise'' and tries to negotiate directly with the colony governor that captured the Unificationists. However, this results in the colony governor realising that he has Spock in custody, ending negotiations as the possibility of interrogating Spock offers far more benefits than any deal he could make with the Federation. Faced with this revelation, [=McCoy=] retreats to Ten-Forward, bitterly musing that he has become the kind of admiral he always hated when he was on the ''Enterprise'', the admiral who steps in and takes over thinking he knows everything only to reveal that he actually has no idea and ends up making the situation worse.
