Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In episode 510, Worf's inability to complete his reconciliation with Alexander (due to Riker's summons) leaves the father-son relationship unresolved and the boy feeling abandoned. In episode 721, K'mtar invokes ya'nora kor—the right to challenge a parent's fitness—specifically because Alexander's Klingon training has been neglected, a direct consequence of the abandonment pattern begun in episode 510."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The truncated conversation in 510—where Worf tries to use K'Ehleyr's memory but is pulled away by duty—foreshadows that no real resolution was achieved. K'mtar's legal challenge in 721 is the narrative payoff: the unresolved grief and failed communication from 510 now have external consequences that threaten Worf's custody and Alexander's future.
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.
