Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wesley’s role at Conn escalates from a passive observer of Data’s parenting experiment to being directly interrogated and assessed by Kurn, who 'knows his records' — suggesting that Wesley’s future may be increasingly scrutinized by both mentors and adversaries."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The tension around authority, scrutiny, and identity intensifies for Wesley across episodes. In E16, he witnesses Data’s parenting; in E17, he faces direct personal evaluation by a hostile authority figure. This escalation highlights his growing exposure in the command structure.
