Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ettis's impatience with dialogue and compromise (Episode17_shot) foreshadows his later willingness to embrace total destruction (Episode18_shot2). His frustration with Gebek's caution (Episode17) identifies his intolerance for dissent, a trait that ultimately drives him to extreme violence.
