Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski's role in deflating Kyle's bravado by naming his vulnerabilities ('PULASKI: 'Kyle... I don't need to hear what you don't need to say.'') parallels her later role pushing Wesley to accept his own fears and authority ('PULASKI: Wes, the minute you walk through that door they're your team. You've got the authority.')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Pulaski acting as both a challenger and encourager across episodes. Her ability to identify emotional armor and demand ownership of responsibility is a throughline connecting her interactions with both Kyle and Wesley.
