Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s retention of the sphere in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_c8a329baa5f4171f_01) is the catalyst for its disappearance in Episode 7 (cand_evt_scene_1342e90dac4d0b9f_01). The sphere’s presence and subsequent theft drive Victoria’s suspicion and distrust of the monks, escalating the mystery around the Yeti’s true nature.
