Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Redvers' earlier liberation from the strait-jacket (Episode 6) enables his later physical assertion of independence in the dining room, where he wields the dinner invitation against Josiah."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Redvers' ability to 'fake' confinement in Episode 6 allows him to act with impunity and boldness in later episodes. His direct challenge to Josiah in the dining room (wielding the invitation) reflects his learned capacity to manipulate appearances and systems he once seemed subject to.
