Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hayne's veiled intelligence directive in 'Legacy'—probing the Enterprise's vulnerabilities—sets up Beverley's critical discovery in 'Reunion' that Duras's man had a bomb implanted internally, revealing a similar tactic of concealed aggression."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hayne's subtle probing in 'Legacy' foreshadows the surgical implantation of the bomb in 'Reunion,' creating a parallel in the use of concealed threats. Bayerly's autopsy revealing the internal bomb is a direct narrative consequence of the earlier deception.
