Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jev’s proposal to use memory probes to clear the Ullians in 'Violations' creates a context where memory invasion is normalized — setting up Miles O’Brien’s later weaponization of Keiko’s personal memories against her in 'Power Play'."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The normalized discourse around memory retrieval in 'Violations' makes O’Brien’s use of Keiko’s intimate memories in 'Power Play' psychologically comprehensible, though morally appalling. It reflects a shift from institutional memory probes to personal memory abuse.

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
