Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Finch's dismissal of the temporal theory in Episode 6 creates a context of scientific marginalization that escalates into outright obstruction in Episode 7. Sarah's solo mission becomes necessary due to the Brigadier's and Finch's combined failure to act on credible leads.
