Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Rago's departure in Ep 4 (leaving Toba in charge) parallels Jamie and Cully's leadership in Ep 5 (taking charge in the bomb shelter). Both moments reflect hierarchical gaps filled by secondary figures (Toba, Jamie) who adapt to crisis on the ground."
