Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tom's experience of being silenced (by Kewper in Episode 1) is mirrored in Episode 2 where he is manipulated by Ben and Polly. This parallel underscores Tom's lack of autonomy within the village's power structures, reinforcing his character arc as someone controlled by others.
