Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes position Salateen as a bridge between the human-led military and Jek's technological threats. In E20, he provides life-critical intel; in E21, he weaponizes that knowledge to expose systemic infiltration—a parallel that elevates his character from passive observer to active resolver.
