Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Andy's forensic briefing in Episode 4 (highlighting the weak case around Vicky Fleming) continues to haunt John's professional mindset in Episode 5, driving his insistence on separating Vicky's case from the others."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Andy's mention of Vicky Fleming as 'of private interest to John' in Episode 4 primes John's obsession with Vicky's case in Episode 5. This creates a throughline of John's personal bias, which Jodie critiques but also engages with, reinforcing her pragmatic stance.
