Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This causal link bridges Parts 1 and 2 by showing how technology (IRIS) used to probe Clegg's telepathy becomes the tool that reveals the crystal's true malevolent nature. It carries forward the arc of scientific investigation into supernatural forces, tying Clegg's demise to the crystal's curse.
