* SwappedRoles: Quark, a Ferengi, behaves honourably like a Klingon. Meanwhile, D'Ghor, a Klingon, goes through shady dealings like a Ferengi, and is later found to have zero honour.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: A fairly meta one. Coming off three episodes where the Dominion showed their clear military superiority, Quark's comment about D'Ghor wanting Kozak's land and property [[ValuesResonance without destroying it in combat serves as a hint as to the Dominion's first choice of how to get the Alpha Quadrant]], which will be how they get their foothold in season 5.

** It's also made VERY clear that Klingon honor [[DeliberateValuesDissonance is not like what the modern viewer thinks of as honor]]. It's very much in the medieval knight/Samurai vein of reputation and MightMakesRight, with no value placed on fairness or good sportsmanship. Thus the fact that another house challenged D'Ghor's honor with its accusations is what mattered, not whether the evidence Quark provided is ''true''.

* BookDumb: Judging from the reactions to Quark's explanation, a knowledge of mathematics and economics is ''not'' one of the requirements for serving on the Klingon High Council. Subverted by Gowron, who seems to understand enough to realize Quark is telling the truth about D'Ghor.
