Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 2, Frances' probing of Ryan about his 'other granny' and funeral plans (event cand_evt_scene_8d2967cd09b33900_02) establishes her morbid fascination with the Royce family and the funerals, which directly connects to Clare's suspicious inquiry in Episode 3 (event cand_evt_scene_f0de61ef357b7e4b_01), where Clare reports Frances' odd questions about Ryan's father.
