How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The unresolved end of Episode 4 sends the characters searching for answers, leading them directly into the Master’s next trap. The spatial anomaly in Castrovalva foreshadows the temporal and psychic anomalies in the Xeraphin sanctum.
