Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of 'invisible threats' spans both episodes: the taranium’s chemical danger and Bret’s misplaced trust in Chen’s allies both result in fatal consequences. Steven’s journey involves learning that danger isn’t always mechanical (Daleks) but can be orbital (Chen’s network).
