Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s rapid bonding with Ben and Sean in the mines stems from the shared violence of being trapped together in a metal cage (Episode 19). Their instant camaraderie in Episode 20—jamie nicknames Ben 'mate', shares Jamie’s willingness to sabotage the oppressive regime—highlights continuity in Jamie’s protective instincts.
