Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes interrogate the fragility of truth and alibis. Episode 3 centers on Catherine’s unreliable alibi for Aurelia’s murder; Episode 4 expands this theme to forensic evidence and suspect credibility, with Andy Shepherd dissecting Balmforth’s contradictory statements and suspicious contacts."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The shift from personal alibi failure (Catherine) to institutional evidence scrutiny (Andy) reflects a wider theme of institutional and individual accountability being dismantled through scrutiny—a motif that began with Aurelia’s unresolved case.
