Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Catherine's explosive pub confrontation in E5 ('I can't stand him') where she resents Ryan for Being Tommy's son, directly fuels her accusatory confrontation with Beresford in E6 ('Someone here is filling his head with deeply inappropriate ideas')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection shows Catherine's unresolved resentment toward Ryan in E5 becoming focused rage in E6—not at Ryan, but at the proxy (Frances) exploiting Tommy's hold over him. Her inability to accept Ryan in E5 becomes protective fixation in E6.
