Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 2, Worf rejects Riker's offer of family time, insisting his parents' visit is 'inappropriate for a Klingon warrior.' This avoidance of family duty foreshadows his neglect of Alexander, which Helena directly confronts in Episode 10 by saying 'Alexander needs a father.'"
