Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The interpersonal hostility Geordi faces from Leah Brahms in Episode 16 escalates into outright physical violence in Episode 17 when Peeples attacks him. The dynamic shifts from professional friction to existential threat, mirroring the crew's broader descent into madness."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection frames 'Night Terrors' as a dark reflection of 'Galaxy's Child'. Where the former episode pits Geordi against an adversary in a controlled conflict, the latter traps him in a scenario where psychological collapse erodes his professionalism and safety.
