Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dent's cold threat — 'I have only to press this button' — echoes Azal's mechanical reasoning ('My instructions are precise...') and Jo's despairing cry 'Kill me, not him!' — amplifying the theme of dehumanized control and Jo's defiance of it."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional resonance lies in the mechanization of power over Jo's life. Both antagonists wield remote or algorithmic control, framing Jo as an object in a logic she cannot escape — until she transcends it through paradox (self-sacrifice).
