Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 4, Data is shown struggling to grasp humor and emotion. In Episode 5, Graves identifies Data as 'the father of [Soong’s] work' and 'your grandfather,' which become the psychological anchor for consciousness transfer. This verbal callback underscores the personal dimension of the scientific theft.
