Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Geordi's raw grief and fierce hug for Data during the farewell in Episode 9 directly extends his protective, loyal mentorship role from Episode 7 (e.g., defending Data's gifts, sharing technical bonds). This shows his consistent character trajectory as Data's steadfast ally.
