Broken Aesop is YMMV.


* BrokenAesop: The episode insists that the casualties on both sides could've been avoided if they had all just trusted each other. However, Sisko invokes the runabout crew (who were destroyed the moment Kilana's Jem'Hadar arrived), and T'Lor and Muñiz (killed and mortally wounded, respectively, before any negotiations had begun). It may be taken, however, that Sisko at least partially meant that the second Jem'Hadar ship opening fire upon arrival (and the Jem'Hadar warriors assaulting the crew on the ground) had soured any potential negotiations afterward.

* DudeNotFunny: Sisko shouts at Worf and O’Brien to stop fighting and act like officers, and Dax’s response to that doesn’t sit well with Sisko.
-->'''Dax: ''' Tough guys. A little pressure and they buckle.\\
'''Sisko: ''' Dax, maybe you haven’t noticed, but no one’s laughing!

* ThisWasHisTrueForm: The dead Changeling in the Jem'Hadar ship eventually reverts its natural state, a liquid. It's unclear how long it was dead before liquefying.

* PoorCommunicationKills: The Founder aboard the ship could've been saved if Kilana had been more forthcoming with Sisko about why she and the Jem'Hadar were there.

* PoorCommunicationKills: The Founder aboard the ship could've been saved if Kilana had been more forthcoming with Sisko about why she and the Jem'Hadar were there, Sisko affirming that all he wanted was the ship and he would have let the Changeling go with Kilana if he'd known it was there.

* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Jadzia tells a grieving Sisko that the loss of five {{Redshirt}}s is WorthIt if it saves more lives down the road. Sisko agrees, saying that he'd make the same trade-off again if he had too, but that doesn't make it any easier to live with.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Muñiz is shot by a Jem'Hadar. The wound appears minor, but bleeding persists until he slowly bleeds to death. Even Worf remarks what horrible way to die it is.

Kilana beams directly aboard the ship and admits that her mission is a failure. Her Jem'Hadar have killed themselves in dishonor for failing to protect their god. Sisko tells her that they could have avoided all the death if she's simply told him the truth, but Kilana counters that she couldn't trust him with the knowledge. With the captain's permission, she takes a small portion of the Changeling's ashes and departs.
