* CardCarryingVillain: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. Part of the point of the episode is that the Ferengi's card-carrying villainy makes them a ''bad'' ProudMerchantRace. The Nagus notes that their reputation has made it hard to run their operations in the Alpha Quadrant because their corruption, double-dealing, and shortsighted avarice makes other businesses not want to deal with them.

1.) Plot happens. 2.) Too fantastical because it involves a Ferengi reacting differently then what their species would suggest.

** Quark quickly sees that being the Grand Nagus, the head of state for [[PlanetOfHats race of greedy backstabbers]] is a dangerous position since every Ferengi under the sun wants to kill him. Especially Zek's son, who was expecting to inherent the position.
** Zek was sincere about his desire to retire. Ferengi are greedy but at some point even they reach a point where they want to enjoy life rather than focusing on profit.

Added DiffLines:
** Vacuum desiccation and having the remains sold off is treated as something unique that only happens to Ferengi of great stature like the Nagus. In future episodes, vacuum desiccation is treated as the normal way that Ferengi prepare their dead.

Replaced 'female' with 'woman'. The episode is about Ferengi, but we're not Ferengi ourselves.

Meanwhile Sisko worries that Jake's friendship with Nog is a bad influence on him. Nog, however, is getting dragged out of school by Rom, because the Grand Nagus disapproves of a Ferengi attending a human school. Nog tries to reason that as a Ferengi, maybe he doesn't need school, but this causes a spat between him and Jake. Jake is worried that him and Nog's friendship is dissolving, but Sisko, relieved that Jake getting some distance between himself Nog, tells him that maybe Ferengi and human culture just have their differences. Jake doesn't buy this, however.
With every greedy and backstabbing Ferengi of note gathered at Quark's for a conference, Zek announces he won't be the Ferengi overseeing the new business chances the wormhole can provide. He plans to retire, and name a successor as Nagus. And much to the anger of his son and the other visiting Ferengi, he chooses ''Quark''.
Quark is as surprised as anyone else there, but more than relishes the new found promotion... until a Ferengi named Gral approaches him and makes a thinly veiled threat against him if he doesn't give Gral a good cut of the Gamma Quadrant business. Naturally freaked out, Quark seeks advice from Zek.

At Zeks funeral, Quark just ducks a homing bomb that would have left him a smear on the wall. Thanks to bending over for a coin another Ferengi dropped.
Jake and Nog decide to patch up their friendship, both concluding that it doesn't matter what their respective fathers think. Sisko catches a glimpse of them running around the station together and assumes they are up to trouble. His worries grows when Jake stops coming home after school, first sneaking in late at night. He confronts Jake about staying out late, telling him to come straight home after school from now on.
