Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes highlight the callousness of authority figures—Ffinch in E15 and Kirsty in E16—but from opposite ends of the power spectrum. Ffinch’s rigid adherence to protocol justifies denying mercy, while Kirsty’s fury-driven denial of mercy to Ffinch reflects the moral inversion caused by his earlier cruelty.
