Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events show Harry rejecting credible external warnings (first political rhetoric, then Sarah's intuition) out of hand, setting up his later recklessness. This creates a consistent character flaw that escalates his conflict: his inability to trust others' judgment — even when correct — when it contradicts his own overconfidence.
