Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Millington's shift from calculated authoritarian control (Episode 9) to chaotic desperation (Episode 10), where he abandons secrecy entirely, seizes the flask by force, and issues panicked orders, marking his moral and strategic collapse.
