Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The aftermath of Jamie and Cully's Quark sabotage in E4 creates immediate consequences in E5, where they must evade Quark pursuit and reassess their strategy. This reflects Kando's continuity in observing these events through the periscope (E5), tying her passive resistance into the active sabotage efforts of the allies.
