Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Garrett's urgency in Episode 13 (recruiting Penley) directly escalates into the base's threatened collapse in Episode 14, where her arguments for action become more desperate as the danger intensifies. The stakes rise from theoretical to immediate.
About Escalation Connections
