Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stuart's initial evasiveness to Colin Frazer about police interference in E1 foreshadows his similarly evasive behavior when intercepting Tegan in E2, where he deflects questions about Colin's disappearance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both interactions involve Stuart actively avoiding direct answers, first about police interference in Amsterdam (E1) and later about Colin's disappearance (E2), creating a pattern of evasion that drives Tegan's investigation forward.
