Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Daryl's tearful confession to Alison (E5)—including his admission of harm and fear of arrest due to DNA evidence—is explicitly echoed in Jodie’s revelation to John Wadsworth (E6). Jodie recounts that Daryl confessed to his mother about killing 'those women' and lamented that he 'wouldn’t have had to do that last one' if people hadn’t thought he did the Vicky Fleming murder—mirroring Daryl’s earlier plea for Alison’s secrecy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a verbatim callback to Daryl’s confession in the next episode. It reinforces the tragic irony: Daryl’s attempt to avoid detection (E5) indirectly causes the reopening of the Vicky Fleming case (E6) when his mother’s confession-to-murder becomes public. The emotional echo underscores the cyclical violence in the Garrs family and the chain of unintended consequences stemming from Daryl’s vulnerability.
