Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both threats escalate from physical containment (robot growth, evacuation of air) to existential dissolution (dematerialization via alien technology). This escalation raises the stakes from survival against hostile systems to outright annihilation, pushing Sarah—and the audience—beyond familiar bounds.
