Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Romana's corrected understanding of Meglos' disguise and escape in Episode 7 is the direct catalyst for her actions in Episode 8 where she reveals the truth to Zastor and Caris, setting the stage for the Power Room confrontation and the mission to Zolfa-Thura. This forms a crucial causal chain spanning episodes.
