*MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Inverted with Mesk. Knowing nothing of Orion culture, he plays up his Orion heritage because he'd never met another Orion before and thus couldn't be challenged.

* ThrowTheDogABone: For once, Boimler surprising doesn't go through any humiliating situations while at Deep Space Nine. Boimler spends most of the episode playing Dabo and goes on a winning streak. When the Ferengi dealer accuses him of cheating, Boimler triples what he's betting and the station's power gets shut down precisely at the moment where Boimler's bet pays off, much to the dealer's horror. After Boimler wins so much latinum, the dealer tries to trick him into taking a gift certificate for twice its value at Quark's gift store (so Boimler will just funnel all that money back into overpriced merch), and Boimler gladly takes it because they don't use money in Starfleet anyway.
* YouOweMe: Shaxs and Colonel Kira fought together in the resistance, and spend much of the episode trying to say who owes who for saving the other.

* CharacterDevelopment: A few instances:
** Up until this episode, Mariner was always squeamish about going overboard with her relationship with Jennifer. When Jennifer reveals that she really likes her more destructive side, she decides to embrace it a little more.
** Tendi decides to embrace her more adventurous and aggressive side when it saves Rutherford and Mesk.



* LetsGetDangerous: When the Karemma capture Quark and attempt to escape with Tendi, Rutherford and Mesk trapped on their ship, Tendi reveals that the girl is capable of being a very amazing badass, her family being pirates.



* MirrorCharacter: Tendi and Rutherford meet Mesk, another Orion Starfleet officer, on [=DS9=]. Similar to Worf, he was raised by humans on Earth, and having no other connection to Orion culture tried relating through what he could research. This led to him adopting a stereotypical persona of an Orion pirate he's very vocal about living up to, even getting judgemental towards Tendi for denouncing it.
