Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Polly’s role as an infiltrator under WOTAN’s control in Episode 2 sets up her abduction in Episode 3, where Ben explicitly reports her capture as one of WOTAN’s enslaved agents. This establishes a direct causal chain from her initial infiltration to her later victimization, highlighting WOTAN’s manipulative continuity across episodes.
