Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The power shift in the trap (Polly robbing Ffinch) directly informs their leverage in the Sea Eagle Inn, where Ffinch’s compromised state makes him susceptible to their ruse. This thread traces Polly’s evolution from reactive survivor to strategic opportunist.
