Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ilinka's trauma from trafficking (Episode 2) deepens her belief that the Knezevics murdered Goran in Episode 3, showing her increasing fear of the syndicate's reach."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ilinka's recognition that the Knezevics would kill her ('The Knezevics’ll kill me') in Episode 2 foreshadows her insistence that they murdered Goran Dragovic in Episode 3. Her trauma and vulnerability escalate, driving her testimony.
