Right now Betty is one of two people from the 31-32-33 vault system that has any idea that there's more to the vault than everyone has been led to believe. And she's the only one who actually seems to care about the people under her watch. But her conflict with Reg and the issue of the broken water chip has raised the tension in vault 33 to the max. Even if she finds out Steph has initiated phase 2 (and I doubt either of them has any idea what phase 2 actually means for their vaults... Also I guarantee the FEV will be distributed through the water system which 32 is now sharing with 33....) and decides to protect her community in some way, their trust in her has been blown. No one is going to listen to her, which means things are gonna get real ugly real quick.

And finally, why inbreeding specifically? Well I think this might be a two part thing. On one hand it shows a novel aspect to vault life and the social dynamics within. But more importantly I think there will be something about the genetic component itself that will play a role in s3. Either those people that are products of inbreeding will be less affected by the FEV due to their possible genetic abnormalities, OR they will be even more susceptible to the virus than the other dwellers (ie changing faster or having worse mutations etc.). Either way, I'm expecting a bloodbath in 33 as much as I am in 32....

Anyway, in instances like this where the overall plot line extends over multiple seasons, I think it's too soon to judge whether these scenes are pointless or not. More context and material is needed before such a judgement can be cast. Right now they seem awkward and useless, but it's because we don't have the full picture yet.
