Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hermack's relentless pursuit of Milo in Episode 31 drives him to seek refuge with Madeleine in Episode 32, creating a direct escalation from long-range militaristic pursuit to an immediate, face-to-face crisis in her office. This forces Madeleine to confront the consequences of Hermack's actions.
