Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chapter 5’s revelation about Sean’s innocence leads to a public backlash and a need for media management (e.g., Andy’s ‘media strategy’ discussion). Chapter 6’s focus on Vicky Fleming—another unresolved case with public appeals—mirrors this ongoing crisis of public trust in the H-MIT.
