Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Judson's obsessive study of ancient texts in Part 2 (seeking absolution) directly leads to his confrontational debate with Millington in Part 3 about wielding ancient evil."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This traces Judson's character trajectory from guilt-ridden mysticism to actively resisting Fenric's manipulation. His earlier plea for absolution through ancient inscriptions (Part 2) contrasts with his later defiance against Millington's ritualistic use of the curse in Part 3. The continuity shows his evolving stance toward Fenric's power: from passive scholar to active resistor.
