Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ruth's role as morally conflicted yet protective of Arthur and household guests is consistent across episodes. Her pleas in Part 5 to stop the fight echo her earlier concern in Part 4 about Arthur’s condition and Victoria's abduction, showing her character-driven actions to protect those around her despite her moral confusion.
