Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection is causally direct: Jamie's identification of the Quarks as essential to the Dominators' power in Ep 4 leads to his strategic decision to destroy them in Ep 5. This decision disrupts the Dominators' mission, showing the Quarks as both tools of oppression and targets of resistance.
