Upon rewatching Hiveswap, I noticed that Joey is skeptical of Jude’s conspiracy theories and plans, until the monsters are proven to be real and the plan manages to work out. Same goes for her landing on Alternia, in which she doesn’t believe Xefros to be an alien until she sees a pic of him. This echoes Jane’s initial skepticism, with both of them not believing in bizarre stuff until they actually witness it. IMO this could link back to lived experiences being part of Life.

That’s an intriguing outlook on it, yeah it does mirror Jane’s situation quite a bit!
