Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events center on Bob supporting Benoit during critical technical failures (infection containment vs. Gravitron diagnostics). The crew's inability to control the situation grows from local to global stakes, reinforcing Bob's operational role under escalating pressure.
