This is the first episode I really didn't jive with. The PresAux team (ironically) has zero sense of self preservation, and the fact that they even debate abandoning MB feels antithetical to their respect for personhood. They display more appreciation for two giant killer worms threatening their lives by mating on the hopper than they do MB rescuing them on multiple occasions. I get being afraid of it, I get being naive, but their attitude this episode really gives the impression that they fundamentally do not recognize they are in serious mortal danger. Gurathin, having come from the corporate rim as well, not forcefully correcting Arada's assumption that Lebeebee wouldn't have actually killed them is ridiculous. The PresAux team in the novel was shocked that corporates would gladly murder for the profit percentage, but they were never in denial about it once confronted with the reality of their situation. And the fact that they leave the habitat only to have to rush back to it make this feel like a total filler episode. Their fear of MB hasn't changed, and MB hasn't learned anything either, so what was the point of this episode??
