Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Chen's earlier praise for Sara's 'heroic war cry to peaceful ends' predicts her defense of orders despite personal complicity. Steven's accusation that she obeyed 'blindly without question' echoes Karlton's earlier observation about her unwavering faith in Chen.
