If the behavior could have occurred but was not observed, it's appropriate to connect the data points to indicate continuity in the possibility of occurrence. If the behavior could not have occurred (e.g., the subject was not present), then the data points should not be connected, as this accurately reflects the discontinuity in the potential for the behavior to occur.
