Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jellico’s offer to supply a probe in Episode 10 escalates the tension by enabling Worf (now on the Enterprise under Jellico) to prepare advanced anti-matter mines in Episode 11. This reflects Jellico’s escalating military posture and sets the stage for the preemptive strike.
