Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ryan's mention of Mrs. Beresford's assembly on forgiveness in Episode 4 is a direct callback to her role in Episode 2, where she introduced Frances (in disguise) to the school community."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Beresford's consistent presence in Ryan's life—both as an authority figure in school assemblies and as a reference point in his emotional decisions. Her earlier role in normalizing the school environment (via the assembly) contrasts with Ryan's later invocation of her words during a family crisis, showing how her influence persists beyond her physical presence in the episode.
