* HesJustHiding: Invoked by Sisko in the final scene, with him theorizing that a few Maquis cells might still be alive and undercover, waiting for the right moment to re-emerge. This was intended to let the writers of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' use the Maquis again if ever they needed to, but that show ultimately picked up where this one left off by confirming that the vast majority of the Maquis were exterminated by the Dominion, with the few survivors having mostly been arrested and detained by the Federation.

* BatmanGambit: Eddington has been making it clear that even if Sisko forced him along to deactivate the missiles, it's still ''Sisko's'' business not his, and that he rather likes the idea of dying in a Dominion war after getting a satisfactory revenge on Cardassia. A Jem'Hadar ship approaches their runabout, and all Eddington says is a pointed, "Looks like ''you'' have a problem." But Sisko takes the handcuffs off him and then goes off for a ''raktajino'', leaving Eddington (who knows the Badlands better than Sisko) to prove his death wish isn't so strong after all.
