Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes explore the central theme of identity crises under alien influence. Jono's forced separation from his human identity (as explored in Suddenly Human) parallels Susanna's physical and psychological transformation in Identity Crisis, which also involves an enforced separation from human norms (e.g., alien senses, physical changes). The crew's burden of deciding 'what is best' for an alien-influenced individual is echoed.
