* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Cardassia is dead." The Female Changeling's vow to punish the entire Cardassian race for the Obsidian Order's failed attack will finally be realized [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS07E25E26WhatYouLeaveBehind 3 years later]].

* YouAreACreditToYourRace: A downplayed example; probably the only time in the entire series that the Female Changeling shows respect to Sisko and his crew is in her sincere acknowledging of their concern for Odo and risks they are willing to take to help him. Of course this needs to be taken in the context presented throughout the episode of her view that one Changeling is worth more than an infinite number of solids...

* ARottenTimeToRevert: Odo begins suffering painful fits of PowerIncontinence due to an illness inflicted on him by the Founders. With typical stubbornness, he leaves the infirmary and returns to work, even managing to corner a smuggler... but before Odo can make an arrest, he suffers another attack and reverts to liquid on the spot, giving the smuggler the opportunity to escape while he's incapacitated.

** While it's not brought up in the episode itself, Garak's 'Kill 'em All' plan has one big flaw (besides being a suicide run): He has no guarantee ''all'' of the Founders are currently present here on their new homeworld. Sure, he may kill many, if not most of them. But there are likely more off world still scattered across the Gamma Quadrant (and infiltration missions back in the Alpha Quadrant). Not only will the Link survive in some form, but they'll be even ''more'' motivated to nuke Cardassia for what Garak did. It's justified, though, as Garak's encounter with the Female Founder has left him panicking and off his game.

** While it's not brought up in the episode itself, Garak's 'Kill 'em All' plan has one big flaw (besides being a suicide run): He has no guarantee ''all'' of the Founders are present here on their new homeworld at this time. Hey may kill many, if not most of them. But there are likely more offworld still scattered across the Gamma Quadrant (and infiltration missions back in the Alpha Quadrant). Not only will the Link survive in some form, but they'll be even ''more'' motivated to nuke Cardassia for what Garak did. It's justified, though, as Garak is all but panicking after the Female Founder's threat.
* FailedASpotCheck: Garak's attempt to hijack the ''Defiant'' weapons systems fails because he overlooked one of the security monitors (which got Worf's attention). Garak's sloppiness is justified, as his chilling encounter with the Female Founder has left him off his game.

* FailedASpotCheck: While he's flippant about it, Garak's apparently overlooked one of the ''Defiant'' security monitors and that's why he gets caught by Worf.
