How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mary’s protective assertion during Salamander’s staged speech in Episode 20 (cand_evt_scene_54b82b993874e268_01) — 'You shouldn’t have asked him, Colin' — is echoed in Episode 21 (cand_evt_scene_19a219fea5475494_01), where she again mediates Colin’s outbursts and acts as the stabilizing emotional force."
