How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Queen's capture of Sabor (established in Episode 24) creates Neska's vulnerability in Episode 25 where Sarah manipulates her grief with false hope. This shows how the Spider Queen's oppression propagates through Neska's family line.
