Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Troi's alignment with Data's ethical stance in Episode 9 (asserting the potential sentience of the exocomps) foreshadows her later role in Episode 10, where she actively engages with Jellico's authoritarianism and asserts her own moral authority in crew matters."
