* FallGuy: Pel warns Quark that this might be why Zek wants him to head the negotiations with the Dosi; if things go wrong, someone's gonna need to take the blame.

It's not homophobia to be made uncomfortable by an unsolicited kiss from someone you (think you) aren't sexually compatible with.

* MistakenForGay: A subtle moment, but Jadzia figures out Pel is in love with Quark before Pel tells Jadzia she's a woman. Jadzia expresses surprise when she finds out Pel is a woman, which strongly implies she thought Pel was gay. Quark also assumes Pel is gay after she kisses him, not finding out that she's female for hours (possibly more than a day) afterward. In contrast to Jadzia, Quark takes the experience very badly, denying it happened and getting visibly uncomfortable when Pel wants to talk about it. It's not clear if this mild-to-moderate homophobia is unique to Quark or common among Ferengi.

Well, the Dosi turn out to be what you'd get if you combined Ferengi with Klingons, They love profit, but their short tempers and aggressive attitude make negotiations quickly turn sideways. The lead Dosi staunchly refuses to meet Quark's request of 10,000 vats and demands to speak directly to Zek. Only the quick thinking of Pel helps cool things down, and the Dosi agree to "think about" selling 6,000 vats.

* StayInTheKitchen: This episode fleshes out the Ferengis' deeply-engrained misogyny. We already knew they preferred their women naked and kept home; now we find out that women earning profit, being literate, reciting the rules of acquisition, and even ''advising'' males on financial matters are all illegal on Ferenginar.

* SuppressedMammaries: InUniverse-Pel conceals her breasts under a form-fitting vest. In fact, the director insisted on Pel having visible breasts as part of her gender reveal because he didn't think just removing the synthetic lobes was enough of a signifier, and later mentioned talking to people who still didn't realise Pel was female until she took off the vest.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: This otherwise humorous episode is the first to mention the Dominion. WordOfGod says this was intentional, as Ron Moore liked the idea of the overall villains of the show being foreshadowed in what is, in the grand scheme of things, a throwaway episode. Ferengi gender norms will also play a role in future episodes.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodSandwich: Pel sits down to a full plate of food but only nibbles at a small morsel before Dax engages her in conversation. At the end of the scene, Pel leaves without having taken another bite. Of course, the teeth prosthetics make it difficult for actors playing Ferengi to eat on screen.
