Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The resolution of Data's personhood in Episode 9 allows the crew to shift focus in Episode 10 toward guiding another sentient being—Salia—toward self-discovery. This thematic continuation underscores Starfleet's broader mission of exploration, not just of space, but of consciousness.
