Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 2, Riker takes charge by leveraging available resources (Data, the computer system) to solve a problem (locating Data). In Episode 10, Riker's leadership is similarly decisive as he immediately assesses the situation regarding Picard's disappearance and takes urgent action, demonstrating consistent character traits across episodes.
