Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zoe’s role as the rocket’s astrogator (E24) evolves into her role as the crew’s technical anchor in E25, where her discovery that the engines are ‘inoperable’ forces her to adapt her strategy to rely on sabotage and guile."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zoe’s technical pragmatism and independent decision-making in E24 (e.g., rejecting Kelly’s warnings, prioritizing systems checks) directly inform her pivot in E25. Her realization that the only escape route is via T-Mat (a system she knows intimately) solidifies her as the crew’s strategic backbone.
