Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Gold’s admission in Episode 22 that 'there's something ominous about the whole project' is retroactively validated by Stahlman’s overt act of sabotage in Episode 23 (ordering Patterson to delay Gold). This reinforces Gold’s status as a Cassandra figure whose warnings are ignored until too late.
