Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes present health crises requiring Pulaski to override or adapt to failing technology. Her struggle to contain Anya's violent reaction to medical procedures (Episode 10) parallels her struggle with failing Starfleet systems (Episode 11).
