Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Ep5, Catherine deflects Clare’s questions ('I’ll do it tomorrow') about Ann’s rape, embodying avoidance. In Ep6, her failed avoidance culminates in Daniel’s memory-driven assault ('Why wasn’t it you?'), linking Catherine’s avoidance of truth to the family’s generational trauma.
