Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dymond's transactional nature, emphasized in Episode 13 as he storms aboard demanding culpability documentation, directly drives his urgency and confrontational stance in Episode 14. His language ('I've got to be away soon or I'll lose my contract') mirrors his earlier demand for immediate reparations, showing his character as a pragmatic salvage operator whose goals and demeanor remain consistent across episodes.
