Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Ep14, Vaughn dismisses Packer's concerns about UNIT's presence with arrogance. In Ep15, Vaughn’s interrogation of Rutlidge reveals UNIT’s actual threat level, forcing Vaughn to act precipitously. The earlier dismissal of threat becomes the catalyst for the rushed invasion.
