Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Korris's initial confrontation with Worf over 'honor' and loyalty parallels Riker's later 'betrayal' and forced alliance with parasitic conspirators. Both events hinge on the perversion of loyalty: Korris appeals to Worf's Klingon identity, while Riker is compelled under duress."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback reinforces the theme of loyalty under duress. In Episode 20, Worf resists seductive appeals to abandon Starfleet; in Episode 25, Riker is physically forced into complicity. The shift from ideological pressure to physical coercion marks an escalation in threats.
About Callback Connections
