Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski's direct mentorship ('Wes, the minute you walk through that door they're your team. You don't have to prove a thing. You've got the authority.') echoes her earlier advice to Riker about jettisoning emotional baggage, showing continuity in her tough-love mentorship style."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This reinforces Pulaski's consistent character arc as a blunt, practical mentor who pushes people to confront their responsibilities. Her advice to both Riker and Wesley carries the same core message: take ownership of your role and authority.
