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.'"
