Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hermack's accusation in Episode 31 that Clancey is selling argonite on the black market foreshadows his later focus on intercepting beacon sections (assumed to be the stolen argonite) in Episode 32, revealing his tunnel vision."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This foreshadowing highlights Hermack's obsession with logical (but flawed) criminal narratives, which blinds him to other possibilities (e.g., Clancey's innocence). It sets up his later misidentification of the Issigri freighter.
