Summary
Analysis
Just before the search party returned, Risa was in the Admiral’s jet giving him aspirin and checking his blood pressure. He applauded her thoroughness and expressed support for her aspiration of becoming an Army medic. Risa heard a commotion outside as the Unwinds began to storm the jet.
Risa caring for the Admiral, and his support for her in return, is a stark contrast to the mayhem and violence happening just outside the jet and further highlights the anger and destructiveness of the mob.
