Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ffinch’s dismissal of Highlanders’ rights as prisoners of war (E15) foreshadows his own dehumanization and vulnerability in the animal trap (E16), where he is stripped of his authority and subjected to bribery. This escalates the theme of power and its fragility.
