Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Frank Hollander's control over Data (by threatening Alexander) mirrors Riker's difficult position when Data asserts independent thought about exocomps. Worf witnesses both situations where Starfleet officers are pressured by self-interested parties."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Worf experiences firsthand the tension between duty and protection of others in both episodes - facing Frank Hollander's leverage tactics in Episode 8 and then observing Riker's ethical struggle in Episode 9. This builds Worf's perspective on leadership under pressure.
