Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 23, Riker detects Worf's spiritual instability and reports it to Picard. In Episode 24, Riker leads the away team that includes Worf without direct reference to the prior issue, but the earlier event frames Worf's re-engagement with duty as part of his character arc.
