* BizarroEpisode: The idea of Zek being deposed and Brunt being his temporary replacement, and even an episode dedicated to a feminist revolution in the notoriously sexist Ferengi culture, are interesting enough premises on their own, but most of the episode's focus is on the spectacle of Quark pretending to be a woman to win the support of a major businessman.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Instead of an actor, it was the director, Alexander Siddig, who did this, viewing an admittedly bad farce as instead a dramatic piece. As a result, even the bits that could have worked ended up not working.

* UnfortunateImplications: Quark's seeming befuddled by the financial figures that Zek hands him shortly after his sex change has been pointed out by [[https://sfdebris.com/videos/startrek/d547.php SF Debris]] to make it sound like being turned into a woman made him stupider. Ironically, the scene was likely intended to imply the ''opposite'' -- that Ishka is such a genius that the figures she typically deals with are far above the understanding of even an experienced businessman like Quark -- but the poor wording and placement of the lines completely undermines that intention.

Just "pretending it doesn't exist" isn't enough for this trope. They would have to deny the canon of its plot developments.
