Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cully's earlier attempts to alert the Council (Episode 1) directly lead to his more extreme act of disrupting a Council meeting (Episode 2). This escalation forces Senex and the Council to confront the issue, despite their initial dismissal.
