Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Scobie's terse admission ('Yes, I was there about two hours. Why?') establishes his connection to the plastics facility, making him a prime target for replication. This continuity ensures that Scobie's character arc—from human authority figure to potential facsimile—is narratively consistent across episodes.
