Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Catherine's emotional fragility around Ryan in Episode 4 (where she experiences fleeting joy despite surrounding stressors) directly connects to her broken state in Episode 5, where she hides her trauma behind a facade of detachment. This continuity underscores how her personal and professional turmoil (exacerbated by Tommy's return) erodes her stability.
