Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Data's newly discovered capacity for nightmares and his study of dream analysis in Episode 6 provide the intellectual framework he uses in Episode 7 to interpret Hedril as a manifestation of Lwaxana's repressed trauma. This shows his evolving role as a bridge between the rational and the psychological.
