* TheUnreveal: While the episode certainly implies it (since how else would Brunt know about the "misdiagnosis"?), it's never revealed whether Dr. Orpax was bribed by Brunt to set off the plot. It's left to one of the companion novels, ''Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 Volume 3'', to finally confirm this was the case.

* FridgeLogic: It's rather perplexing that Quark's contract doesn't include a provision to cover the case that he doesn't actually die. Then again, maybe such a provision would end up making the contract "less valuable". Quark may have debts high enough that including such a provision wouldn't draw a bidder willing to pay a price with that provision put in. And Brunt probably knew that too.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: When the [=DS9=] crew all decide that Quark's bar is too important to shut down and all show up to help.

* LoopholeAbuse: Since the contract seemed to only specify a certain number of jars of ‘vacuum-sealed Quark’ one wonders why Quark didn’t just have Dr. Bashir clone enough of his own bodily tissue to fill the order and pass it on to Brunt, contract fulfilled.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: A minor criticism of the episode is that Quark's becoming an outcast from his people had already been done with Worf (and twice at that), with Brunt's speech about the dire consequences that Quark and his family will face if he breaks the contract being lifted almost word-for-word from the speech that Gowron gave when he was threatening Worf with discommendation at the start of the season.[[note]](In fact, it was very nearly an even bigger example of this trope, as earlier versions of the script revealed that no Ferengi in recorded history had ever broken a contract; however, the producers realized that in addition to seeming implausible, this was too similar to Odo's becoming the first Changeling ever to harm another -- which was key to the plot of the very next episode, no less -- and removed it)[[/note]]

Bashir has no idea why Quark would receive a message saying "Sorry, you don't have Dorek Syndrome". He's not saying he doesn't know what it is. No-one has told him about Quark's supposed illness.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: During Quark's episode-long contemptuous dismissal of the Federation, one of his offhand insults is his refusal to get a second opinion from Dr. Bashir because a useless ''hew-mon'' doctor won't have a clue about a Ferengi disease. Bashir later receives a communication from Dr. Orpax on Ferenginar, and sure enough, he hasn't a clue what Orpax is talking about.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: While nothing in the episode specifically states it, Dr. Orpax's incorrect diagnosis sure does seem like a BatmanGambit on Brunt's part to maneuver Quark into short-selling himself.
