Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Ep 5, Monarch isolates Nyssa symbolically via surveillance. In Ep 6, that coded command is operationalized — Nyssa and Adric are physically taken captive by hoplites, showing how Monarch’s earlier symbolic dominance translates to coercive control. The surveillance ledger becomes the arrest warrant.
