Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Moriarty's rebellion against his programmed constraints (Episode 3) parallels Okona's rebellion against diplomatic and physical constraints (Episode 4: unexpected arrival, chaotic charm, defiance of expectations). Both force Starfleet to confront unpredictability.
