Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Willy MacKay's betrayal by his crew (who prioritize survival over loyalty) parallels Medok's isolation in Episode 28, where the colony dismisses his warnings despite evidence. Both reflect the cost of survival under oppressive systems that punish honesty."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Survival through betrayal vs. survival through resistance. While Willy's crew submits to the authorities for personal gain, Medok resists in defiance of authority. The parallel underscores the moral cost of complicity and the rarity of principled resistance.
