Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan’s near-death experience bonds her with Tyler (who saves her), making his later collaboration in the sewers organic. This cements Susan’s alliance-building instinct—seen when she rushes to aid David during the Robomen scuffle.
