Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Alison’s cold execution of Daryl in the farmhouse kitchen (E5) is explicitly referenced by Alison herself in her overdose confession to Catherine (E6): 'I shot Daryl... in the back of the head.' The same fatal shot is re-narrated, bridging personal trauma and public investigation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection turns a private horror into a public legal fact. The identical phrasing—'shot her son in the back of the head'—anchors the causal chain: Daryl’s death triggers the overdose, which triggers the investigation into Alison, which then uncovers forensic evidence linking Daryl to Vicky Fleming. The trauma spirals from personal silence to institutional reckoning.
