Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection traces Jamie's character continuity: his initial conflict with Bennett's authority over the Silver Carrier (seen as a menace) directly causes his later act of sabotage to protect the rocket. Bennett's unresolved threat assessment in Part 2 escalates into Jamie's protective intervention in Part 3.
