Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jo's flight from the saloon cabin into the Main Deck forces Andrews and Daly to confront their procedural failures (searching in the wrong direction). This escalates the narrative from localized containment crises to systemic collapse, as their inability to adapt underscores the miniscope's fragility.
