Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The sabotage discovery (suggesting internal threat) in Ep 25 raises the stakes and urgency. In Ep 26, this escalates to a life-or-death mission where Lane and Arnold enter the infected tunnels, directly endangering themselves—showing conflict intensification and consequence of earlier revelations.
