Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Geordi's VISOR and shared alienation with Rina in Episode 7 ('the alienation') echoes his raw, wordless bond with Data in Episode 9 (hug and grief over Data's forced departure)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Geordi uses his VISOR to 'see' beyond surface differences, just as he later 'sees' Data's humanity despite others' blindness. The callback emphasizes his role as someone who bridges perceptual gaps.
