Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Knight's initial prioritization of demolition over safety in Episode 23 directly contributes to the military's collapse in Episode 24. The escalation from a localized threat (Yeti) to a systemic one (fungus) shows the consequences of Knight's decisions.
