Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ashley's manipulation of Kevin via financial leverage and moral blackmail in Episode 1 (e.g., offering school fees for complicity) parallels his psychological manipulation of Tommy in Episode 2, where he taunts Kevin with Tommy's violent tendencies ('Poor lad hasn’t had his leg over in eight years'). Both scenes emphasize Ashley's use of psychological violence to control those around him."
