Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wesley's success with the Ico-spectrogram in Episode 15 directly stems from his desperate drive to prove himself after professional rejection in Episode 10. The technical competence Salia admired ('Final Taste') translates into decisive action on dilithium lattices."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Wesley's transformation from someone who couldn't even sit in the command chair to someone whose technical analysis saves a planet. The competency gaps closed in Episode 10 (studying computer data) create the foundation for his crisis management in Episode 15.
