** The Klingons act as though Laas was the sole guilty party in an officer's death, with the surviving Klingon claiming that Laas had been surrounding them "menacingly" (he'd been a cloud of fog) and try to claim that the dead man had been reaching for a knife instead of a disruptor.

* BullyingADragon: The two Klingons who foolishly instigate a fight with Laas, a Changeling, and try to kill him, to predictably fatal results.

** The Klingons in turn play this card uncharacteristically when they instigate a fight with Laas that ends with one of them killed. Instead of accepting they were BullyingADragon and lost, respecting his fighting prowess and acting in self defense, they are quick to jump to legality and pretending to be the victims. Even Worf seems a bit embarrassed by this situation.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: A pair of Klingons try their hand at BullyingADragon against Laas the Changeling, suffice to say it doesn't end well for them.

* PrefersTheTrueForm: At the end, Kira apologizes for anything she may have done to make Odo feel that she needed him to restrain his abilities to feel comfortable around him. In reply, he shifts into a beautiful shower of golden light and swirls around her as she smiles in deep joy, obviously profoundly moved.

* BrokenAesop: The hostile reactions to Laas's "being fog" on the Promenade seem to stem from bigotry against shapeshifters (including internalized bigotry on Odo's part). O'Brien gives a legitimate, non-bigoted reason to object to that particular behavior: the sudden appearance of fog on the Promenade gives people the impression that there's something wrong with the environmental controls, which is a very serious problem on a space station. There's nothing wrong with being fog, and there's nothing wrong with changing form in public, but taking that particular form in the most public area of the station, without giving advance notice to anyone, is genuinely disruptive -- the equivalent of shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.
** Not to mention it's essentially fondling people without their consent.
