Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The hiring of Ringo in Episode 36 (cand_evt_scene_bafafd10454e7592_01) directly causes Virgil to report seeing Kate—and by implication Ringo—with the Clantons in Episode 37 (cand_evt_scene_0c2a4cd28dd3a961_02), merging Doc’s love for Kate with the larger conflict.
