Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jellico's duality—openly enforcing combat protocols while covertly aiding Picard—echoes Riker's manipulation of Moriarty in Ship in a Bottle. Both rely on deception layered over explicit authority, with the Enterprise Computer as an unwitting facilitator in executing these covert plans."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback underscores the Computer's transformation from a tool of official Starfleet prerogatives (Jellico's orders) to one complicit in unauthorized sentience liberation (freeing Moriarty). It frames the Computer as a pawn across narrative scales, from geopolitics to holodeck ethics.
