Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In 426 Worf and Kurn forge a cautious strategy of waiting to back Gowron until his enemies are at his throat. In 501 that strategy collapses into an open argument, as Kurn challenges Worf's position and the brothers split over loyalty to Gowron and the war."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The brothers' uneasy compromise in 426 contains the seed of its own collapse; 501 escalates the tension from a private strategy session into a public break that isolates Worf.
