Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Nyssa's resistance to Kalid's psychic grip in Episode 24 demonstrates her mental fortitude but also highlights her susceptibility to psychic manipulation. This vulnerability carries directly into Episode 25, where she is drawn to the Xeraphin's sarcophagus despite warnings, echoing her earlier struggle with psychic forces.
