Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Becky’s ghostly presence in Episode 5’s dreamscape (cand_evt_scene_32cb0de9c10f156a_01) mirrors Tommy’s manipulation of Ryan in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_ba2db34429ac70e1_01), both using Becky’s memory as a tool of emotional control."

Both events pivot around Becky’s posthumous influence: in Episode 5, her spectral invocation haunts Catherine’s psyche; in Episode 6, Tommy weaponizes her memory against Ryan. This parallel underscores how Becky’s legacy shapes both Catherine’s trauma and Tommy’s predation.
