Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The artillery barrage in Episode 36 (Part 2) causes Carstairs to question the nature of the conflict, planting the seed for his later disillusionment and outright defiance of authority in Episode 37 (Part 3). This shows a direct transformation in his character's stance against the War Lords' system.
