How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces Reegan's character trajectory as Carrington's unflinching enforcer. The cold-blooded murder in E14 sets the precedent for his violent control over both people and the alien captives, which continues unabated in E15 with Liz's recapture.
