Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The personal and professional conflict Catherine faces with Marcus Gascoigne evolves from E2, where Clare's revelation about her past with him forces Catherine to acknowledge her own complex history with corruption. This influences her responses in E4, particularly her defensiveness and focus on evidence.
