Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Guardian's presence in Episode 17 sets up his later actions in Episode 19, where his refusal to help Turlough reflects a escalation in his antagonistic behavior. This progression underscores his role as an entropic force that seeks to destroy rather than guide.
