Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Clare’s explicit warning to Catherine in the allotment shed (Episode 2)—'My intention is to deal with it effectively'—directly leads to Catherine’s unchecked obsession manifesting in therapy as violent impulses toward Clare."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Clare’s attempt to rationally intervene with Catherine’s obsession in Episode 2 paradoxically becomes the emotional trigger for Catherine’s therapeutic breakdown in Episode 3, where she fantasizes violence against her sister.
