Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski's pragmatic medical mindset from Nagilum's existential threat (accepting the grim calculus of sacrificing half the crew) evolves into her role in Moriarty's crisis: she remains composed under hostage conditions, using medical assessment skills to engage Moriarty intellectually."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Pulaski's actions in Episode 2 demonstrate a medical pragmatism that refuses to flinch from horrific choices (e.g., accepting casualties as 'disease killing the patient'). This attitude carries into Episode 3 where she employs medical/professional detachment even while held hostage, treating Moriarty's demand for existence as a case to assess rather than a crisis to panic over.
