* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Jono's situation is practically tailor-made to create interesting interactions with Worf, being a mirror-image of the Klingon's experience growing up in an alien culture, but the writers never caught onto it, and Worf himself never even mentions the similarity or reacts differently because of it.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Jono's return to the Talarians is treated as a happy ending, but there are still a lot of problems left unresolved. Jono's grandmother, who was so happy to have the last of her line returned to her, must now be informed that he has turned his back on her. Jono will also go back to live with an alien species. Given how xenophobic they are of other species, it seems likely that he will face a lot of adversity being respected by his compatriots throughout his life. It's also possible that the seeds of uncertainty about his origins that Picard planted will not go away, and he will continue feeling as though he doesn't fully belong to either Talarian or human society.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Picard realizes Jono wants to return to Endar and the Talarians and allows him to do so, averting a potential war. However, Jono has recovered his memories of the Talarians killing his family and hasn't fully come to terms with his human heritage, he has experienced his first taste of human culture and liked it, and he was so torn over his "betrayal" of his people by bonding with Picard that he attempted SuicideByCop. All in all Jono is going to become an extrmely confused and traumatized young adult, and given that he has already demonstrated a willingness to escalate to physical violence as a resolution, it's probable this inner conflict will result in him killing someone, possibly Endar or even himself. Not to mention the issue of him having a Starfleet admiral for a grandmother who would surely be, at the very least, put out by whatever explanation Picard gave her.
