Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The physical violence Duggan uses to shut down Kerensky’s dangerous experiment (Episode 6) directly escalates into his aggressive infiltration of the brasserie by smashing glass to confront Scarlioni’s forces (Episode 7). His willingness to destroy property and confront threats physically grows more pronounced."

It shows his trajectory from reactive brute-force problem-solving to proactive confrontation, aligning with his grizzled operative identity.
