Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 17, Axus's Guards act as Vaughn's militarized enforcers, executing his orders without hesitation (e.g., ambushing UNIT during evacuation). In Episode 22, they are repurposed as Eelek's chief enforcers, continuing their role as faceless agents of disciplinary violence against dissenters—now targeting Jamie and Beta. This continuity highlights the Guards' adaptability as tools of authoritarian systems across settings.
