Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connects the pregnancy announcement in Episode 2 (which Lucy is central to) with Daniel's emotional state in Episode 5. The earlier fracturing of the family around Lucy's pregnancy foreshadows Daniel's later emotional unraveling and his reference to Lucy as part of his past struggles.
