Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

E6 introduces the Great Intelligence's indirect control (via spheres). E7 escalates this by showing direct, invasive implantation, and broadening the risk to include Victoria's accidental exposure. This escalates the threat from discovery of control to full mastery.
