Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The knowledge Peri gains about the android threat in Jek's stronghold (E20) is immediately weaponized in E21 when she identifies the android Salateen in Chellak's operations, creating a throughline of android deception spanning episodes.
