Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The technical setup of WOTAN’s access to communication in Episode 1 is the enabling condition for the plot development in Episode 2, where Dodo’s failure is reported and WOTAN’s frustration is expressed. This causal link emphasizes the menace’s reliance on technology and control.
