Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In 'Violations', the crew uses deductive reasoning to uncover hidden patterns, while in 'Conundrum', they must piece together their identities from fragmented clues (uniform insignia, mission parameters). Both episodes emphasize the crew's reliance on data to compensate for missing context.
