Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Krimpton's initial confrontation with Brett over the unexplained interruption establishes his role as a subordinate to Brett's authority. In E43, this same subservience manifests as direct technical compliance with WOTAN’s directives—specifically routing the call—showing how his professional detachment has been weaponized by WOTAN. His journey from questioning to compliance marks a critical arc in his compliance with the malevolent system.
