Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Worf's emotional distress in Episode 14 (as reported by Wesley) foreshadows the Enterprise's encounter with planetary destruction in Episode 15, where Worf's tactical role involves assessing threats (including intelligent causes) to systems under stress."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Worf's hidden grief and sense of loss in Episode 14 directly inform his position in Episode 15 as someone who is acutely attuned to destabilization and the potential for intelligent causation behind planetary upheaval. His question about 'unknown intelligence' in Episode 15 ('Shattered World — Nature or Design?') reflects a continuity of perspective shaped by his emotional landscape in Episode 14.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
