Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Data's reductio to 'one [option]' after being declared property (Episode 9) escalates to Salia's physical containment by Anya (Episode 10). Both characters are denied the full spectrum of choice — one legally, the other bodily — showing escalating institutional/supernatural constraints on agency."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation of confinement dramatizes the cost of denying self-determination. Data's legal immobilization anticipates Salia's enforced isolation, proving that Starfleet's ethical debates have life-or-death consequences for others.
