Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Poul's arc from discovering the conspiracy (bloodied hands) to being physically and psychologically affected by it (visible injury, robophobia). The discovery of the conspiracy in Episode 19 directly results in Poul's heightened instability in Episode 20, where his condition becomes a liability to the crew.
