Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The argument in Episode 2 (triggered by Daniel revealing Clare's addiction) is a precursor to Catherine's therapy breakdown in Episode 3, where she admits to wanting to harm Clare, her son, and her grandson. This shows the emotional fallout of Clare's addiction.
