Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The confrontation in 'Clues' where Data admits to being ordered to conceal truth foreshadows his later struggle to understand and express emotional truth in 'In Theory.' His evasion and rigidity in Episode 14 persist as analytical detachment in Episode 25."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Data's inability to freely express or process truth in Episode 14 morphs into his inability to understand emotional truth in Episode 25. His character's continuity is marked by this rigidity—first institutional, then personal.
