Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The aggressive accusation by Chin Lee in Episode 5 creates immediate tension and directs the Brigadier's focus toward her, setting up her sinister role and disappearance in Episode 6 as part of the Keller Machine plot. This is a direct cause-and-effect across episodes.
