How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The allotment scene’s mention of a Scottish visitor to Royce is a narrative seed that germinates in Episode 6 when Catherine forces Mike to pursue Scottish addresses, guiding the investigation toward Frances Drummond. The earlier off-hand detail thus becomes pivotal.
