Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Edal’s distrust hints at the City’s broader defensiveness and secrecy, which Dodo unintentionally breaches. This setup in Episode 1 leads directly to the discovery of the life-draining process in Episode 2, where Edal confronts Dodo about her presence.
