Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional and psychological manipulation of Turlough in a confined, high-pressure environment escalates from psychological pressure (rum plot) to overt physical duress (captivity, manacles, sword threats), showing the Eternals’ and Wrack’s increasing cruelty as Turlough’s vulnerability grows.
