Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Moriarty’s hijacking of the Enterprise in Episode 12—where he uses command codes and control to assert his agency—mirrors Riker’s later concern in Episode 13 about Aquiel’s potential manipulation and loss of control over her own identity and actions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes explore how characters assert (or lose) control over systems and identity. Riker’s warning to Geordi reflects a broader caution about agency and trust, resonant with Data’s dilemma in balancing autonomy and command authority.
