* MoodWhiplash: The end of "Greater Than The Sum". The Borg have been defeated again, albeit at the cost of another sacrifice, but T'Ryssa seems to have found her place, and Picard and Beverly are expecting their first kid. Then comes the epilogue...

* AscendedFridgeHorror: In-universe and out. Fans had long speculated that when the Borg cut up the ''Enterprise'' back in "Q Who?" and took those eighteen crewmembers, they might've assimilated them. "Greater Than The Sum" confirms that, yes, they did.



* TheAtoner: Picard, for the destruction he wrought as Locutus. While he has come to terms with it since ''First Contact'', it understandably still drives him.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: T'Ryssa is deliberately as un-Vulcan as it's possible to be. Of course, in an organization like Starfleet, her nigh-inability to behave to their acceptable standards does her some serious problems, but if given half a chance, she proves capable.



* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: T'Lana acknowledges her poor behavior in ''Before Dishonor'' by saying she was somewhere between neurotic or just outright narcissistic, and if she'd been asked to diagnose herself, she'd have canned her in an instant.



* CreativeSterility: The Borg, as before, don't innovate. Even their AdaptiveAbility is still just them utilizing knowledge from whoever they've already assimilated, rather than actually improvising a solution.



* MeaningfulRename: The ''Einstein'' is redubbed the ''Frankenstein'' by Starfleet after it's taken over by the Borg.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Discussing negotiations with the Maebrae, T'Ryssa suggests they try and act like water, rather than rock (that is, use a subtle, sneaky approach rather than headstrong). She trails off partway through and admits she has no idea where it's going.



* NakedOnArrival: T'Ryssa. Then she asks if her old boyfriend lives nearby; Middle-Eastern appearance, name of Adam...
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Scotty]] in ''Indistinguishable From Magic''. He's probably dead, but for all we know he managed to transport somewhere safe in the nick of time. The other characters are all convinced he's gone, but we'll have to wait and see if he ever shows up again...

* NoBiologicalSex: While assimilated drones do have sexes, artificially-born Borg drones are androgynous.

* RageQuit: Picard. Yes, ''Picard'', during "Greater Than The Sum". In the middle of a poker game, he notices how everyone's talking about parenthood a ''lot'', and realizes Beverly's had some hand in that. Being Picard, he keeps his anger hidden but politely bows out of the game then and there.



* {{Think Of The Children}}: The Governor of Pacifica in ''Losing the Peace''. He was concerned about refugees' effects on the Selkie breeding islands, but might possibly have been simply annoyed by the refugees. He insisted that the delicate environmental requirements of the Selkie young risked being disrupted by the settlers, and that in the name of the children steps should be taken to remove the outsiders. Most of the refugees had nowhere else to go, and really Pacifica should have been honoring its obligations to the wider Federation by accepting them. It was a complicated situation though - the governor might well have a valid point.

** Anything to do with T'Lana, Zelik Leybenzon, and Miranda Kadohata is effectively this, as their actions during ''Before Dishonor,'' though forgiven by Picard, were seen by enough of the audience as crossing so great a line as to make them a poor fit for the ongoing cast. Kadohata lasted longer than the other two, whose departures are handled in the first chapters of ''Greater Than The Sum,'' but she leaves the ship at the end of ''Losing The Peace.''

** During ''Headlong Flight'', the crew of the ''Enterprise''-E interact with an alternate version of the ''Enterprise''-D from a point approximately two decades in the past, Before both ships return to their own realities, Picard gives the alternate Riker schematics for quantum torpedo technology, reasoning that they were already acquired in this timeline through time travel and any advantage over the Borg is a good one.
