Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallel underscores Catherine's perpetual state of disruption by external forces — whether it be emotional distress (Kevin’s crisis) or active criminality (drugs in the ice cream van). Both moments show Joyce as the agent who propels Catherine from stillness into action, reinforcing themes of duty and responsiveness.
