Narrative Connection

"Forrester's plan in Episode 2 to alter Farrow's report directly results in his successful impersonation and authorization of DN6 in Episode 3, as the report becomes the instrument of deception."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The prepared falsification enables the impersonation — the report is the pretext for the lie, making the authorization possible and legally watertight.
