Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
K9's reliability in combat and tactical obedience in Episode 15 directly enables the rebels' successful seizure of Main Control in Episode 16. His actions bridge the two episodes, reinforcing his continuity as a cybernetic protector and tactical asset.
