Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The physical damage to the car in Episode 4 creates immediate financial and practical anxiety for Alison (repairs, MOT failure) while raising questions about Daryl's recklessness. This concerns escalate to police-specific threats in Episode 5 when she learns his car's damage matches forensic evidence in a murder investigation.
