Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mary’s early maternal fear for Colin in Episode 20 — 'Colin, I couldn't sleep a wink last night thinking about you making the trip' — continues in Episode 21 as she tries to soothe both Colin’s rebellion and Swann’s doubt, maintaining her protective role."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mary’s arc is one of increasing maternal protectiveness that evolves into a more active skepticism. Her consistency across episodes carries the emotional core of the bunker’s resistance to Salamander’s lies.
