Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Seeley's act of concealing the alien globe in Episode 2 establishes his involvement with the meteorites, which becomes the basis for Munro's interrogation in Episode 3. This creates a direct cause-and-effect chain linking Seeley's poacher/scavenger actions to the escalating conflict with authorities.
