Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In 'Violations', Riker is forced to relive Keller's death due to Ullian intrusion, while in 'Conundrum', he (and the crew) face a wholesale erasure of identity. Both episodes explore Riker's vulnerability to external mental interference.
