Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"'Medical assessments' recur as a motif. In Episode 5, Pulaski delivers a terminal diagnosis to Graves; in Episode 6, Pulaski and other officers observe Riva’s unique communication prosthetic. Both scenes hinge on the idea of 'assessing' something that is not ordinary (a dying man, a deaf mediator)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This link reinforces the series’ interest in 'diagnosis' and 'understanding'—both medically and philosophically. The continuity of Pulaski as a medical voice and the presence of 'assessment' scenes creates a sense of ongoing medical or existential inquiry.
