Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The revelation at the wake that Sean Balmforth is a convicted sex offender (Episode 2) is directly referenced in Episode 6 during his interrogation, where his solicitor reads a prewritten denial of knowing the murder victims, echoing his prior evasiveness."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Sean's rehearsed denial in Episode 6 ('I do not know... these women') echoes his nervous, guilt-ridden behavior at the wake (Episode 2). This callback reinforces his consistent pattern of deflection in the face of suspicion.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
