Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
While the motorcycle isn’t used physically in Part 2, its acquisition signals Jo’s growing independence and preparedness. This evolution is a subtle but key element of her character trajectory: from technical assistant to resilient co-survivor.
