Narrative Connection

Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mrs. Beresford’s professional and empathetic response to Catherine’s outburst—acknowledging her fear without judgment—establishes her as a trusted authority figure whose school becomes the setting for Frances’s infiltration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mrs. Beresford’s compassionate role in Episode 1 directly enables Ryan’s environment in Episode 2, where she unknowingly facilitates the dangerous infiltration of Frances Drummond. Her consistent presence as a grounding figure across episodes creates a thread of 'trust betrayed' that escalates the narrative stakes.
