Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 26, the Duras family and Romulans form an alliance to challenge Gowron and the Federation, with Sela as the shadowy Romulan commander. In Episode 501, Sela directly commands the Duras sisters and takes personal control of Worf's interrogation, asserting her authority over the alliance and escalating Romulan influence from behind-the-scenes to overt control."
