Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Sara’s betrayal in Episode 13 (shooting Bret) leads to her demand for the taranium in Episode 14, which triggers the molecular dissemination experiment and the trio’s transport to Mira. This is a direct causal chain.

About Causal Connections
