That still doesn't answer why Sutekh couldn't just see her mother like all the other 7 billion humans on earth. Why her and not the other 6.9 billion people out there? It being random is just bad storytelling imo

It's definitely operating on vibes more than on logic. That's not very unusual for this show, but it definitely doesn't always land right.
