How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"Riker's challenge to Conor's predetermined society ('Kind of takes some of the fun out of choosing') prefigures his response to the memory-wiped crew in Episode 14, where he insists on regaining control and reclaiming their identities."

The longer arc this connection carries
Riker's combative stance against forced determinism in Episode 13 reflects his leadership in Episode 14, where he refuses to accept the crew's loss of identity and takes charge of restoring their sense of self and control.
