Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lad 2's role in mocking Khalid's breakdown (E3) directly parallels his role in the escalated harassment that triggers Daryl's violent response (E4). The bullying behavior that was 'harmless' mocking in E3 becomes life-altering violence in E4.
