Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 7, Worf resists paternal responsibility, while in Episode 21, he over-identifies with authoritarian rigidity. This represents an escalation of his conflicted identity: from avoiding responsibility to overcompensating through misplaced loyalty.
