Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 13, Romana identifies the CET machine as unstable and dangerous ('Nothing works perfectly'). In Episode 14, Romana links Rigg’s erratic behavior directly to Vraxoin poisoning, which Romana suspects may originate from the CET machine. The theme of systemic danger escalates from a theoretical risk to an active, embodied threat.
