Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes begin with Geordi in engineering—first overwhelmed by a system-wide blackout caused by Nagilum’s control, then later constructing a carefully engineered holodeck environment to challenge Data’s understanding."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 2 opens with Geordi attempting to diagnose a catastrophic loss of control across the entire ship. Episode 3 closes with him meticulously crafting a model and setting up a holodeck game, demonstrating mastery over engineered environments. This mirrors the shift from reactive survival to proactive control, reinforcing the theme of agency through technical expertise.
