Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both Dodo and Steven initially dismiss or rationalize the presence of primitives (Dodo's terror vs. Steven's skepticism in 'The Traitors' with Kirksen's hostage scenario). This foreshadows the later revelation in 'The Savages' that the City's prosperity is built on the oppression of primitives."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This setup in Episode 13 foreshadows the core conflict in 'The Savages', where the initial dismissal of primitives as threats or anomalies is shown to be a deliberate misdirection masking systemic exploitation.
