Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Green's enforcement of containment (triggered by detecting Ben) mirrors the larger containment strategy represented by WOTAN's War Machine network. The escalation from a localized pursuit to a city-wide threat reflects the increasing stakes of Ben's conflict.
About Escalation Connections
