Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s intervention in Episode 18 (disarming guards, saving Salamander) earns the dictator’s gratitude and trust, which is exploited in Episode 19 where Jamie, disguised as a guard, is interrogated by Bruce about Salamander’s secrets. This showcases both Jamie’s growing involvement and Salamander’s manipulation of loyalty.
