Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Kent's actions in E22 (ambushing Salamander) stem from his growing conviction in E21 that Salamander is a criminal (Fariah's murder, file disappearance). His transformation from collaborator to antagonist is fully realized by E22.
