Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Senta’s frustration about delays and curiosity about strangers (Episode 1) directly motivates her later actions when Dodo is discovered in the lab (Episode 2). The setup in Episode 1 makes the capture and experimentation of Dodo (as a stranger) logical and inevitable.
