Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The petrol bomb—an improvised weapon representing Frances's inner turmoil—parallels the 'breaking point' Catherine reaches after the Garrs murder-suicide. Both scenes depict characters pushed to extreme, violent actions by their unresolved obsessions (Frances with Royce, Catherine with her inability to protect Ryan)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This highlights the thematic parallel between Frances and Catherine's violent impulses, albeit in opposing directions (grooming vs. protecting). Both characters are unraveling, but Frances acts on her destructive impulses while Catherine's are contained by institutional constraints.
