In Episode 4, Beverly is present when Marr dismisses Data's spectrographic analysis. In Episode 5, Beverly places her trust in Data when coordinating with Geordi to move the quaratum containers, reflecting a contrast in her professional judgment—rejecting institutional prejudice in favor of empirical evidence.
