Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Stevens' decision to detain Yates in Episode 24 creates the circumstances for Yates' eventual infiltration of BOSS's inner sanctum in Episode 25. Yates' knowledge of the organization and his personal motivation (escaping Stevens' control) drive his actions in the later episode.
