Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The parallel underscores Beresford's thematic role as an emblem of stability and guidance in Ryan's life, even when her direct involvement is limited to background or memory. The contrast between her warm welcome (Episode 2) and Ryan's fractured invocation of her (Episode 4) mirrors the destabilization of his emotional world.
