Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events involve the Chameleon operatives manipulating Polly’s identity to avoid detection and further their goals. In Episode 31, the abduction hides evidence; in Episode 32, Michelle’s impersonation hides the alien operation. This theme of identity being fluid and contested is central to both episodes.
