Alexander’s jacket becomes the hiding place for the stolen lizard model, symbolizing his attempt to conceal his defiance. When Worf, enraged by Ms. Kyle’s accusation, searches the jacket, he finds the model in the pocket, exposing Alexander’s lie. The jacket thus serves as a physical manifestation of the boy’s deception and the moment of truth that shatters Worf’s trust. Its role is both functional (hiding the evidence) and narrative (revealing the lie).
