Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tommy's coercion of Frances to think creatively about retaliation in Episode 4 is the catalyst for her constructing the petrol bomb in Episode 5. This demonstrates Frances's internalization of Tommy's violent demands as her own intentions.
