Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Picard's suspicion of the Ferengi's motives ('They agreed a bit too easily') in Episode 10 is echoed by Troi's urgent sensing of danger from Q, and Picard's dismissal of his rescue mission in favor of Q's demands in Episode 11."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pattern of Picard recognizing deception but being powerless to stop it carries over from Episode 10 (Ferengi) to Episode 11 (Q). This callback reinforces Picard's recurring role as a commander unable to fully trust or control the forces acting upon him.
About Callback Connections
