Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The murder of Chub in Episode 17 sparks a crew-wide investigation, but by Episode 18, the crew’s defiance of Uvanov’s authority (Cass and Borg mutiny) and the revelation of Zilda’s murder demonstrate an escalation in both violence and insubordination."
