"The acid sea in Episode 21, which represents a hostile and corrosive environment, escalates into the psychological and literal corrosion of the mind in Episode 22, where the Morphos' illusions corrode the companions' perceptions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
