Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Catherine’s emotional state at Becky’s grave (Episode 2) evolves directly into her confronting violent impulses in therapy (Episode 3). The unsubstantiated but present emotions of vindication and grief in Episode 2 manifest as explosive admissions of rage in Episode 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Becky's absence at her grave in Episode 2 foreshadows her lingering, unresolved presence in Catherine's psyche during the therapy session in Episode 3. The shift from quiet reflection to violent admissions reflects Catherine's unresolved trauma tied to Becky's suicide and Tommy Lee Royce's crime. The emotional trajectory of grief and guilt spans episodes, deepening the character’s internal conflict.
