Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 23, Beverly laments 'What's missing here is a little humanity' while diagnosing a medical mystery tied to ethical exploitation. In Episode 24, she is similarly powerless to address the root cause of Manheim's genetic decay, echoing the same themes of helplessness and the intersection of science and morality.
