Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events highlight the tension between routine police work and unpredictable external disruptions—Catherine's orderly introduction of a new officer in Ep1 is immediately followed by the chaotic murder case, and later, the revelation of Royce's release further disrupts their workflow. This parallel underscores the instability of their work environment.
