Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Yates' admission of sabotaging equipment in Episode 8 (cand_evt_scene_355bf270fa625fc2_03) parallels Finch's later refusal to support Sarah's investigation into Grover's hidden chamber in Episode 9 (cand_evt_scene_681ce278881d37a9_1), both representing the institutional complicity in hiding the truth."
