Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zilda’s actions reveal Uvanov’s role in murders, creating a narrative justification for the robots' shift from malfunctioning tools to systemic killers. The connection bridges Episode 18’s human-driven conspiracy and Episode 19’s robot-led purge, escalating the conflict.
