Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Ettis's arc is defined by his skepticism toward alliances and authority. His refusal to trust the Doctor's strategic vision in Episode 16 directly parallels his dismissal of Gebek's survival as a 'pointless' cause in Episode 18, demonstrating the consistency of his character and the rebellion's internal divisions.
