Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The collective trauma of the mind-control crisis in 'The Game' (Episode 6) parallels the collective grief caused by Wesley's accident in 'The First Duty' (Episode 19). Both episodes deal with the aftereffects of an incident where Wesley's actions (or those influenced by him) lead to fatal consequences or near-consequences."
