Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Royce's initial skepticism and mocking dismissal of Romana (as seen when he jokes with Aldo about Romana's navigator abilities) establishes his character's low-rank compliance and lack of trust in outsiders."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Royce's consistent behavior as a low-ranking crewman who echoes Aldo's dismissive attitude toward Romana, even as her actions in Episode 19 (protecting the Tharil) challenge his worldview. His continuity as a reluctant participant in Aldo's plans highlights his underlying reluctance to fully embrace Rorvik's cruelty.
