Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski's claim in Episode 7 that 'If Starfleet had wanted you to make the medical judgments they wouldn't have assigned you a medical officer' foresadows her later assertion in Episode 13 that she has the authority to relieve Picard if she deems him irrational."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Pulaski's statement in Episode 7 establishes her as a character who believes medical authority supersedes command in certain situations. This foreshadows her behavior in Episode 13, where she again asserts medical authority over Picard's competence, suggesting a recurring theme of her challenging Starfleet hierarchy.
