Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The twins' initial seizure and amnesia in Episode 23 (Event 1) set the stage for their ongoing exploitation in Episode 24 (Event 4: freighter escape with their data). The escalation from containment to active extraction of their cognitive labor highlights the regime's increasing desperation and ruthlessness.
