Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The device Quinn bargained for in Episode 6 becomes a plot device in Episode 7, where he reveals it to Dawson and uses it to summon the Silurians. This creates a clear causal chain linking Quinn’s alliance in Episode 6 to its consequences in Episode 7.
