Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The disappearance of Peri from Chellak's quarters (E21) confirms Jek's successful counter-deception and his agenda. This directly causes Chellak's dramatic confrontation outside Jek's headquarters in E22, where he offers surrender terms before the conflict erupts.
