Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's departure on a rescue mission in Episode 23 leaves Vicki temporarily without her companion, making her reliance on Joanna's protection in Episode 24 a natural narrative consequence. This continuity shows Vicki's transition from a supporting role in the group dynamic to a more isolated position where she must navigate court intrigue alone.
