* EveryoneHasStandards: Once Worf reveals the truth behind "Sins of the Father", Gowron's left stunned by the revelations. He had no idea about the cover-up and is disgusted and dismayed to learn the extent of the corruption the House of Duras propogated and exploited to protect themselves.

Before they reach Qo'noS, they are intercepted by Gowron's ship. He brings a warning of schism in the Empire. It seems that even without their patriarch, the House of Duras remains a threat and still holds favor in the Klingon council. Gowron is convinced that the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'Etor, are plotting a coup. When Worf reveals the fact that his discommendation was a plot by the Council to protect Duras, Gowron refuses to correct the injustice because he needs the support of the council.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Lursa and B'Etor are certainly loyal to each other, seeing themselves as equals in their scheme. Lursa was even willing to make an offer to Worf because B'Etor wanted him. On the other hand, they show no real concern for their dead brother (chastising his mistakes to the man who killed him), and they abandon Toral to save themselves without a second thought.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Averted by Sela. While the others think the departure of the ''Enterprise'' means no further threat from the Federation, Sela suspects Picard will try to find a justification to intervene in the civil war. She can also tell their one-on-one meeting was solely because he wanted to learn how Tasha could be her mother rather than the ongoing political situation.


Added DiffLines:

* UncertainDoom: According to Picard, this was Starfleet's position about the crew of the ''Enterprise''-C. They certainly suspected at least some survived the battle with the Romulans, and Picard says there had been constant stories opining they were detained on Romulus, but no one could ever be sure... until now.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainessesWantHeroes: B'Etor is very intrigued by Worf, as he's laid up in bed. Waking up, he was actually receptive to the attention, until he saw it was her. Part of the WeCanRuleTogether offer involves them becoming an item, and she insists it would be glorious.

* StealthInsult: Picard compliments the Duras sisters for their cunning, saying that it's worthy of the Romulans. This not only attacks the sisters' racial pride, but it taunts them with his suspicions that they're nothing but Romulan puppets.

* ProxyWar: The Romulans are secretly arming the House of Duras in order to break the Khitomer Accords alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. The Federation can't afford to get involved this soon after the Battle of Wolf 359, but are able to expose the Romulan involvement, destroying Duras's support.

* CommendedForPushback: Several ships, with Enterprise crew members temporarily in command, are doing a blockade on the Klingon-Romulan border to prove that the Romulans are supplying the Klingon rebels. When Captain Picard commands the ship to move forwards, Data in stead lays a trap to expose them. When he subsequently goes before Picard, on his own accord, for a disciplinary hearing for disobeying him. Instead, Picard commends him.

** Though, depending on how much distance each ship could have between the other to set up net, "going around" maybe have added too much time to the journey to make it practical.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Throughout Part 2, Hobson is seen as getting increasingly insubordinate in refusing to heed Data's orders. But after Data effectively verbally smacks down Hobson into carrying out his orders and discovering the Romulan fleet, Hobson finally addresses Data as Captain.

* LockedOutTheLoop: Gowron didn't become a member of the High Council until after the events of "Sins of the Father". As a result, he didn't participate in the [[KangarooCourt show trial]] against Mogh and Worf's Discommendation. So, Gowren had no idea about the cover-up, or that the entire Council was in on it, until Worf privately reveals the truth.
