Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Beverly diagnoses Lwaxana with depleted psilosynine levels. Despite this diagnosis and the need to rest from telepathic communications, Lwaxana secretly uses her telepathy later in the arboretum, against Troi's instructions. This ultimately leads to her collapse."
