Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The fracturing of camaraderie among rebels in Episode 27 (Sita/Dako/Tor) escalates into broader distrust of outsiders in Episode 28 (Barbara/Dako), where Dako’s role shifts from ally to interrogator. The emotional tension between Xerons becomes a repeated motif across episodes.
