Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Guinan’s comment ‘Great men have great egos’ in Ep5 foreshadows and parallels Riva’s disciplined yet commanding presence, where his ‘ego’ is tied to his communication system (Chorus) and its success in mediation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This mirrors Graves' egomania (Ep5) but channels it into service (Riva’s mediation)—both function as warnings and mirrors of male ego, but through vastly different narratives.
