How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Chen's order to kill Vyon sets in motion the entire chase sequence that eventually scatters the Doctor, Steven, and Sara via the molecular dissemination experiment. This scattering leads to their awakening on Mira, where Sara's role as a Space Security Agent is revealed and her confrontation with Bret's betrayal occurs.
