Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes depict authority figures who believe they are acting rationally but are ultimately undermined by their own arrogance and flawed judgment. Adric, moving from a subject of Monarch’s manipulation to Sanders’ passive observer, becomes a witness to the cyclical collapse of trust — a theme Adric begins to internalize as moral skepticism.
