Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Gebek's witnessing of the brutality in Episode 18 cements his resolve in Episode 19, where he allies with the Doctor to counter Azaxyr's amplified violence. The violence escalates both in scale and method, directly testing Gebek's moral limits.
