Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The lounge crisis (hostile Mogarian act, Doctor’s axe swing) creates a climate of distrust and conflict that directly causes the hijack standoff in Ep12, where Vervoids attack and Mogarian alliances fracture under Rudge’s questioning.
