Worf’s lethal briefing wounds Riker

The merchant disguise clothing is pointed out by Worf as part of Riker’s undercover preparation. Though it plays no active role in the knife incident, its presence on the table symbolizes the deception and cultural immersion required for the mission. The plain fabrics contrast with the ritualistic Nisroh knife, highlighting the duality of Riker’s role—as both a merchant and a potential target in Tilonus Four’s dangerous bartering rituals.

Before: Laid out on the table, ready for Riker to don as part of his disguise.
