Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Beverly, after succumbing to her feelings and kissing Odan (in Riker's body), is present when Odan insists on being removed from Riker's body after the mediation, even if the new host hasn't arrived (beat_1b2d80597d4d5046). Beverly, stunned, reluctantly agrees, acknowledging the sacrifice."
