Added DiffLines:

* ChivalrousPervert: Bashir doesn't immediately accept "Jadzia's" advances (it's actually the imaginary Dax) because she's acting so differently than before, he initially believes she isn't feeling well or that he's hallucinating. He only gives in when his tricorder scan indicates nothing is wrong with either of them. As much as Bashir desires Jadzia, he won't take advantage of her.

Added DiffLines:

* CallForward: Quark proposes devising a holographic playmate for Odo and swirls a glass while suggestively offering that they could "intermingle" long before the concept of changelings linking (and its sexual connotations) became canon. Ironically, Odo dismisses the notion with disgust.

* LimitedWardrobe: Bashir apparently sleeps in his uniform, with his communicator still pinned to his chest. At least he took off his shoes. This isn't the first time in the post-Next-Gen era where characters do this.

Not An Example of Human Aliens. But there's a much better trope.


* CallARabbitASmeerp: A supposed alien species, Gunji jackdaws, are clearly emus without any kind of adornment. Furthermore, it's a bizarre name for such a bird as jackdaws are small (approximately 9 ounce) corvids, while emus can become over 100 times that weight.



* HumanAliens: The animal equivalent, as a supposed alien species, Gunji jackdaws, are clearly emus without any kind of adornment.

Luckily, the rift is a semi-solved problem, and the crew is fairly certain that they can fix it with some TechnoBabble torpedoes. As Miles goes off to jerry-rig a solution, several imaginary figured convene away from prying eyes to marvel at what sorts of things the people on the station are imagining. It seems these things do have some sort of motive after all.

* TheInternetIsForPorn: This episode is the most explicit so far in portraying the Holo-Suites as little more than a sci-fi bordello. When Odo finds out that Jake is going there regularly, Odo gets alarmed, but Quark assures him it's just to play baseball. Even though the show usually speaks around sexual topics, Odo clearly discusses the "sexual" nature of Quark's standard service.
* LimitedWardrobe: Bashir apparently sleeps in his uniform, with his communicator still pinned to his chest. At least he took off his shoes. This isn't the first time in the updated Star Trek series where characters do this.

The crew prepare to launch the torpedos to save the station, but they have no effect, and the rift continues to grow. Rumplestilskin finally steps forward, volunteering to save the station if O'Brien will offer his wife and child. O'Brien sputters in disbelief, but before he can make this SadisticChoice, Sisko announces that he's figured it out: The rift is just another figment of their imaginations. There was a minor sensor blip that someone imagined might be a rift, and then people imagined it getting bigger and the station being in danger, and so on. He orders the crew to ignore the rift completely, and the rift vanishes. With that, all the imaginary figures vanish.
