Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The sectarian tension between Gaston (pro-Huguenot militant) and Muss (cautious leader) in Episode 22 mirrors and escalates into the Catholic leadership's systematic countermeasures in Episode 23. This shows the conflict's broader political entrenchment.
