Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski's involvement in Wesley's leadership training in Episode 15 (where she challenges his self-doubt) sets up her similar role in Episode 17, where she presses the medical risks of Geordi's hostage situation with stark clarity during the command briefing."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both episodes, Pulaski serves as a voice of unvarnished truth. In Episode 15, she calls out Wesley's reliance on external validation ('Only because Commander Riker says I do'). In Episode 17, she similarly challenges the command team's options regarding Geordi's safety, emphasizing the medical stakes ('I want to know what condition he's in').
