Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 2, Daniel is seen as a figure to whom Catherine feels loyalty (e.g., her attempts to bridge the family gap). In Episode 3, her violent fantasies about throttling him reflect her deeper resentment and loss of control, showing how his life events (e.g., pregnancy) exacerbate her instability.
