Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Kevin's initial confession in Episode 2 establishes his guilt complex, which festers and manifests in Episode 3 as he grapples with the stolen £2,000 and Jenny's penetrating questions about fingerprints. This guilt is the driving force behind their moral decay.
