Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Peri's kidnapping by Jek (triggering Chellak's discovery of her disappearance in E21) fuels Chellak's determination to capture Jek in E22. This directly causes Chellak's aggressive tactics (ignoring safety protocols, advancing through dangerous terrain) as he seeks to regain control.
