Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The catastrophic loss of Kirsten McAskill in Episode 3 (a direct result of Twiggy's failed response to the 'Code Zero' call) leads to a chain reaction of violence in Episode 5 where Tommy Lee Royce escapes and critically injures Catherine, mirroring Twiggy's earlier failure of protection."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Twiggy's role in Episode 3 (failing to stop Royce's vengeance at Kirsten's murder) creates a causal loop where institutional trauma (Kirsten's death) breeds new cycles of violence (Royce's escape and Catherine's injury). This forms a thematic escalation of unchecked retributive violence across episodes.

B raises the stakes established in A. The conflict intensifies, the pressure increases, the consequences grow more severe. The ratchet tightens.
