How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both scenes involve Clare challenging Catherine’s fixation on Tommy Lee Royce: in Episode 2, Clare asks 'How d’you know it was him?' and in Episode 3, the therapist presses Catherine about attending the funeral, referencing Clare’s relapse in the same breath."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Clare’s presence as the moral and emotional touchstone persists across episodes, with her role shifting from direct challenger (E2) to indirect catalyst through mention in therapy (E3), linking their shared trauma (Becky’s death via Royce) to Clare’s relapse.
