Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jodie’s reasoned skepticism in Episode 4 (arguing that Sean’s chaotic lifestyle shouldn’t align with forensic awareness) carries over into Episode 5, where she challenges John’s defense of the forensic case and the CPS’s decision. This continuity underscores her role as the voice of reason amid the team’s groupthink.
