Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection demonstrates the Redcoats' internal dysfunction as a unit. Ffinch's humiliation of his own soldiers after their failure to capture Polly and Kirsty reinforces their incompetence as an occupying force, amplifying the sense of chaos in the occupation.
