Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 10, Data insists on verification: 'I neither doubt nor believe her. I am simply attempting to verify her assertions.' In Episode 11, this becomes a full investigation of quantum realities with Worf madly asking, 'Do you think there is a connection?' — showing Data transferring his urge to verify everything into a crisis of existence.
