Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes depict Troi as an empathic receptor in distress: first violated externally (Maylor), then ignored/attacked professionally (Scott). This escalates her character trajectory toward questioning the value and safety of her gifts.
