Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The ND crewmember's silent observation in Part I (monitoring systems while Data reports the intrusion) parallels their role in Part I's transporter room scenes where they witness subsequent deception (Worf lying to Picard). Both involve crewmembers observing truth being concealed by authority figures.
