Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jo's trajectory from UNIT assistant to married explorer is completed in Episode 1026 with her departure. This decision causally enables her to send the package in Episode 1121, bridging her personal arc and the ongoing crystal narrative.
