Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jev’s argument in 'Violations' that Ullians cannot harm those they contact — supported by the precedent of Keiko’s unharmed probe — is directly contradicted in 'Power Play' when the Ux-Mal entities cause severe psychological harm, proving the falsity of such assurances."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a falsified promise — a narrative lie that lulls Starfleet into false security, only to be shattered later. It mirrors real-world scientific or diplomatic over-confidence in technology or alien contact.
