How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve people grappling with narratives of vengeance and fear: O’Brien in Episode 12 hints at Maxwell’s motive as revenge for Setlik III, while Jared in Episode 13 describes the Ventaxian fear of Ardra as a prophesied vengeance. Picard resists both narratives."
