Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 4 establishes Kevin's name as a suspect through Nevison's revelation and Catherine's reaction (cand_evt_scene_bdbdf832e1134fb3_03). Episode 5 escalates this thread with Nevison and Phil interrogating Kevin (cand_evt_scene_dbfc9d9207ed3599_01), turning suspicion into concrete investigation.
