Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barnham's condition as a Keller Process subject in Episode 6 explains his fragile, childlike state in Episode 7 where he plays cards with Jo without understanding the danger."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barnham's memory erasure and emotional detachment from Episode 6 ('I couldn't even remember me own name') directly causes his blank, passive behavior in Episode 7 where he mindlessly plays cards during the prison alarm. This continuity reinforces the Keller Process's psychological toll.
