Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The technical warnings about impeller and pressure issues escalate into a leadership crisis in Ep 31. The same mechanical failure morphs into a human conflict—Robson’s paranoia and Harris’s collapse—amplifying the danger and revealing the social cost of ignoring technical advice.
