Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escalation from Episode 1's ship-wide system failures (induced by nanites) to Episode 2's targeted transporter crisis (induced by hyperonic radiation) creates a narrative arc where technical crises force Wesley to adapt and grow. Both require Wesley to act under pressure and innovate.
