Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The exotic propulsion system Billy examines in Episode 9 (Helstrom Fireball) mirrors his emotional investment in the Vincent motorcycle in Episode 10. Both represent his attraction to 'broken' or unusual technology he fixes or admires, reinforcing his pragmatic yet artistic relationship with machinery.
