Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection demonstrates the escalation of Daryl's trajectory from minor harassment to violent assault, with Alison's protective role inverted into helplessness. It also highlights how Catherine's institutional actions (reporting the crime) directly trigger the legal consequences that shatter Alison's worldview.
