Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Part 1, the crew's distrust is mostly verbal (e.g., concerns about robot reliability, Chub's murder). In Part 2, this distrust escalates to physical violence and scapegoating (Leela's cornering, the Doctor's arrest), showing the theme's progression.
