Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The emotional rupture in Episode 15 (sonic booster destroyed in helpless rage) leads directly to Nyssa’s analytical recovery in Episode 16, where she repurposes alien tech to regain agency. This shows her evolution from detached observer to decisive problem-solver.
