From
Doctor Rejects Drahvin Capture Ultimatum
S3E2 · Trap of Steel
To
Rills reveal Drahvin lies and pacifism
S3E3 · Air Lock

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Maaga's claim that 'they remain on this planet' (Rills) to be destroyed (Episode 2) parallels the Rills' revelation that Maaga killed an injured Drahvin to frame them (Episode 3). Both involve threats of annihilation based on false premises."
