Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Catherine’s visceral reference to Kirsten McAskill’s murder during her confrontation with Frances in Episode 6 is a direct emotional echo of Kevin’s breakdown in Episode 5, where the same victim was named for the first time under interrogation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
