Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes the Dominators' overarching mission and how it drives their actions across episodes. Rago's pragmatic embrace of forced labor as a tactic in Episode 1 is directly followed in Episode 2 by the practical application of that tactic through physiological testing and potential workforce assessment.
