Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Catherine’s illegal break-in to Tommy’s house (Episode 3) indirectly leads to Phil Crabtree’s suspicion of Kevin Weatherill in Episode 4, as Nevison’s mention of 'Kevin' triggers Catherine’s memory."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Catherine’s chaos ('I broke in… I found something') in Episode 3 haunts her in Episode 4 during the interrogation, where Phil’s questioning ('So they know Kevin?') links events. Foreshadows the 'God' moniker as Tommy’s signature.
