How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Riker’s role as the 'rescuer' in Episode 15 (ensuring crew survival) clashes with his role as 'advisor' in Episode 16, where he prevents Worf’s suicide. The callback highlights his evolution from averting physical death to addressing psychological despair.
