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.
