Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 22, Turlough’s hasty urging of Geoffrey to flee to warn the King indirectly causes Geoffrey’s death. In Episode 23, Turlough’s equanimity in the Eye of Orion contrasts sharply with this earlier impulsivity. The emotional weight of his past action lingers, framing his current detachment as a defense mechanism against moral culpability.
