Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The ethical tension between individual and collective in Episode 5 (save Graves vs. save colonists) evolves into the tension between individual breakdown and collective survival in Episode 6 (Riva's crisis vs. mission success), mirroring Pulaski's shift from advocate for the collective (colonists) to witness of individual devastation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Pulaski’s role oscillates between prioritization of many (colonists) and one (Graves in Ep5 thinking), then toward observation and medical diagnosis of one (Riva in Ep6). This reflects her continuity as a medical arbiter of human worth.
