Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Q confirms Picard already has the help he needs, referencing his past and future selves, and cryptically tells Picard that he is the one who will destroy humanity. This message causes Picard's time shift back to the present timeline and for him to command Data to report on the anomaly as it is occurring in front of him."

About Causal Connections

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
