Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie's observation of the Citadel's narrative machinery (writing machine) foreshadows his realization in Episode 10 that he and Zoe are trapped within a scripted reality. This establishes Jamie and Zoe's shared journey from external awareness of narrative manipulation to personal entanglement.
