Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tommy's double-reversal over Kirsten's body (killing her and then ensuring her death by reversing again) foreshadows his complete dehumanization of Ann Gallagher in Episode 4's caravan scene, where he deliberately drugged her and treated her as a subhuman object."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Tommy's psychological escalation from calculated murder to active dehumanization. The methodical nature of his violence in Episode 3 ('run over her again') mirrors his treatment of Ann in Episode 4, where he drugs her to maintain control, demonstrating a consistent pattern of eliminating autonomy through violence.
