Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The decision to explore the swamp and caves is a direct result of the strategic planning in Episode 9. The events in Episode 10, including Ganatus’s fall, are a direct consequence of the mission set into motion and the routes proposed earlier.
