S6E37 · The War Games Part 3

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Carstairs' latent doubt about the mission's legitimacy, expressed verbally and passively in Part 2, directly leads to his active rebellion against Ransom in Part 3. His internal conflict evolves from ambivalence to committed defiance.
