Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The successful escape from Tyken's Rift via an impulsive, instinctive command by Picard ('Night Terrors') is mirrored in 'In Theory,' where Picard quickly regains command focus after the nebula escape and immediately orders a course correction — a callback to his decisive leadership under pressure."
