Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Helen’s vulnerability and desire for police help in the chapel (Episode 3) directly leads to Catherine forcing the kidnapping revelation and calling the NCA (Episode 4). Her emotional breakdown is the catalyst for Catherine’s proactive intervention."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Helen’s fragile confession ('I need to be able to ask a police officer') in Episode 3 plants the seed for her later breakdown at the mission, which Catherine exploits to uncover the kidnapping. This arc traces Helen’s evolution from passive victim to active seeker of agency.
