Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 11, Riker reassures the traumatized Timothy using the same phrase that Data later borrows ('Everything is gonna be okay...'). In Episode 12, Troi's violated memories evoke Riker's emotional resonance with the theme of comfort vs. violation, linking the two events via Riker's language and sentiment.
