Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mena’s arc across episodes mirrors the Argolins’ broader struggle with legacy and tradition (symbolized by the Helmet of Theron). Her failed hope in science and her physical decline tie the character line from E2's optimism to E3's despair and reappraisal.
