How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ffinch’s earlier paranoia about Jacobites in disguise (E15) makes him vulnerable to Polly and Kirsty’s staged deception (E16), turning his own prejudice into a liability. This creates a causal chain where his assumptions directly enable his downfall.
