The Disassembly Drones' Resurrection Significance
I feel a rather unaddressed part of Murder Drones is that all the Disassembly Drones, J, N and V, know can be redeployed with clones; J's statement in "Dead End" is that "effective drones were cloned more". It's an addition to a fact already known, which doesn't surprises N or V (their only comments are that it's "Classic J").
It's a brief thing but it explains so much about the characterisation the three Murder Drones show in the series, and was likely to reconcile the differences in character between the pilot and main series made by the change in story focus.
N's willingness to let his enemies take him apart, like Alice, Beau and the Solver and why he holds nothing against V or J for attacking him when he rebelled. He didn't know by that point that the Solver was in charge of their redeployments, not until a Possessed Uzi told him his backups would forgive it in "Mass Destruction". It also adds to the significance of him alerting V to Cyn at the near-cost of his own life, as he'd only just recently learned that his immortality meant a loss of freedom but risked it anyway.
J's attempts to kill N via virus, and to give him and V to Cyn for killing despite the implications she still somewhat cares about both V and even N. They're to keep N in the dark and the both of them on the same side as her; abusive and self-serving expressions of affection, which, yes, are just as bad as not caring at all despite being more complex. She's the one, after all, who says there's no escape for them, even in death.
And why V, despite still caring about N, didn't have any reaction to his absence when J attempted to off him (and logically, J wouldn't have been able to keep what she'd done a secret forever). This might even be the comics' reason for her ignoring what J did, though there certainly should have been a reference.
This helps validate certain headcanons held by myself and likely several others, like Snowballflo here.
