Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hyde’s technical responsibility in Episode 21 (e.g., verifying device readiness) contrasts with his later role as a victimized witness to Kronos’ power. This highlights the irony of his faith in the Master’s project leading to his downfall, emphasizing the theme of unintended consequences.
