* BlueAndOrangeMorality: This episode really drives home just how alien the Jem'Hadar really are with their single-minded devotion to "the order of things," to the point that they knowingly walk right into a trap that will kill them all simply because they were ordered to. Sisko himself struggles to understand this and tries repeatedly to convince Remata'Klan to TakeTheThirdOption before having no choice but to kill him and his men.



* ContrivedCoincidence: The crew's disabled ship not only finds a conveniently close nebula to hide in, but they find a planet in the nebula, and crash within walking distance of similarly shipwrecked Dominion troops.

As Keevan himself points out, if they had just a few extra vials of ketracel-white then Sisko and his crew would've been slaughtered instead of negotiated with.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: It turns out that being tied up and threatened with death tends to stick with a person; Nog holds a grudge against Garak ever since the Empok Nor incident, and refuses to turn his back on him.

Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: Played for black comedy when Nog recounts how Garak tied him up and threatened to kill him during the Empok Nor incident the year before. Garak reminds Nog there ''were'' extenuating circumstances (which, ironically, ''is'' true, as Garak ''was'' under the influence of a psychotropic drug).

Before the Jem'Hadar attack, Sisko contacts Remata'Klan and tells him that Keevan sold them out. The Third already figured it out from the terrible attack plan that Keevan gave him, but he doesn't care. Remata'Klan cannot break "the way of things" and must obey. Sisko glumly returns to his troops and prepares them for the assault. One officer is killed in the ensuring firefight, but the remaining Jem'Hadar are slaughtered. Blithely stepping over his fallen men, Keevan surrenders and gives over the communications relay, as he promised. [[DueToTheDead Sisko and his crew then start to bury the dead]].
