* {{Squick}}: Having Jake Sisko (played by the then 17-year-old Cirroc Lofton) be a clear object of desire for Onaya (played by the then 48-year-old Meg Foster) naturally didn't go down well with some members of the viewing audience.

* ProtectionFromEditors: Of a sort; the episode went through significant rewrites by just about every member of the writing staff, but despite reservations about the storyline, they knew that they couldn't just outright reject it, as for one thing they were running short on usable scripts, and for another, they knew there'd be hell to pay if word got out to the fans that the writers had rejected an episode co-written by Creator/MajelBarrett.
