Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failure of Pangol's experimental technology indirectly leads to Romana's scientific breakthrough, which in turn disrupts the trial and shifts the narrative focus from destruction to salvation. This reflects both technological hubris and the potential for scientific redemption.
