Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Elizabeth's role as the hotel's anchor (using her blindness to heighten awareness) is tested by Morgaine's entry. Her disorientation in Episode 3 directly escalates the episode's tension, tying Bambera's failed command (Episode 2) to the hotel's descent into mythic peril.
