Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lennox’s act of self-sacrifice in Episode 15—locking himself away—sets up his subsequent flight to the Brigadier for help in Episode 16. His imprisonment, despite his plea for protection, underscores the futility and danger of his attempts to break free from the conspiracy.
