Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Beverly almost succumbs to her feelings for Riker/Odan but stops herself, remembering Riker (beat_4ed90150bff3c60a); Picard later implicitly asks questions about this issue as he is trying to come to terms with it also which underscores Riker reflecting on the unsolvable problem that is Beverly (beat_67288c2a59e05ef4)."
