Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both events, Carstairs is navigating a fabricated timeline: in Ep 37, his absence is a gap in accountability; in Ep 38, the Scientist claims Carstairs is in a fabricated ‘headquarters’ during the demonstration. The theme of hidden control and erasure of truth connects both episodes.
