Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The narrative thread of Lore's influence on Data's reputation and psyche begins in Episode 4, where Marr's suspicion isolates Data. In Episode 26, Crosis weaponizes this vulnerability by presenting Lore as a figure Data can follow. Data's susceptibility to Lore's allure, hinted at by Marr, becomes explicit when he places Lore's leadership above Starfleet.
