Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Worf's concern for Alexander's upbringing (Episode 11) parallels his self-reproach over Riker's role in the Pegasus incident (Episode 12). Both scenes focus on Worf's role as a protective figure, whether for his son or his First Officer."

The longer arc this connection carries
