Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional core of the E2 confrontation—Ryan’s existence as an inescapable wound—echoes in E3 when Catherine references 'writing about all the drugs around here' as a surrogate for confronting Ryan’s presence in their lives. Ros, though physically absent, is invoked as complicit in Richard’s infidelity, which stems from Richard’s resistance to Ryan.
