Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jackson's paranoia about the rum (Ep 18) manifests in a detached, indifferent approach to human life in his rescue attempt (Ep 19). His earlier manhandling by officers leads to a hardened demeanor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jackson's treatment at the hands of the crew (being dragged away) seems to have numbed him, making his lifesaving efforts perfunctory and cold, mirroring his earlier assertion that the rum is poisoned—he seems to believe life itself is a manipulated illusion.
