* DepravedBisexual: Intendant Kira has already proven to be this in the previous Mirror Universe episodes, but here she's depraved to the point of stupidity. Mirror Ezri has feelings for Kira, and she's using that to make Ezri do what she wants, but she also makes out with Regent Worf ''right in front of Ezri's eyes''.

Nana Visitor was actually quite displeased by this, having seen the Intendant's flirting with our Kira to be a purely narcissistic thing that had nothing to do with sexuality.

* AudienceSurrogate: Ira Stephen Behr had grown quite bemused with all the fans who seemed to take the Mirror Universe with deadly seriousness and demanded everything in the inherently silly idea make perfect logical sense. So he gives all their struggles to understand how it works to Rom, who ultimately just gives up trying to make sense of it.

--> '''Zek:''' Hello, Quark. It's me, your Grand Nagus. You'll never guess where I am.\\

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Mirror Ezri wears punk/goth style clothes with black leather and all. This gets subverted though, as she's revealed to be not so evil after all (though she's still much more amoral than regular universe Ezri).
