Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Susan’s statement that ‘the decimal system hasn’t started yet’ in Episode 1 is echoed in the cave setting, where time and progress are frozen—no coins, no advanced tools, only fire and sticks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The anachronisms Susan embodies—knowing advanced science yet being ignorant of basic currency—parallel the Stone Age setting where the tribe clings to ritual and fear. Theme of suspended time and alien logic connects both events through Susan’s dual nature.
