Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Geordi's raw grief over Data's forced separation (Episode 9) echoes his frustration in Episode 10 when Anya obstructs Salia's autonomy. Both scenes show Geordi as the emotional anchor for artifices (Data, then Salia), revealing his consistent empathy for those denied agency by forces beyond their control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Geordi's character arc centers on defending sentience in all forms — mechanical (Data) and organic (Salia). His fiery response to Data's plight ('You're going away') bridges into his protective instincts in Episode 10 when Anya blocks Salia's freedom. This continuity reinforces Geordi's role as Starfleet's human conscience in ethical dilemmas.
