Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Billy’s initial identification of the bus’s navigation failure (Episode 9) establishes his role as a pragmatic problem-solver and sets up his later role as Delta’s trusted ally who can act quickly under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Billy’s mechanical expertise, first demonstrated in diagnosing the bus’s navi-pod issue, directly informs his willingness and ability to assist Delta with the hatchling and motorcycle—key actions in Episode 10. His mechanical mindset evolves into a broader problem-solving role.
