Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The sensory hallucinations and psychological torment Picard experiences in Episode 10 (e.g., vivid memories, smell of smoke) are escalated in Episode 11 as Q directly manipulates his perception and controls the ship, amplifying his powerlessness.
