Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation is driven by the Master's manipulation and the Sea Devil's growing aggression, marking a clear shift from stealthy infiltration to outright war. The loss of Trenchard and the collapse of human authority in Episode 12 set the stage for this escalation in Episode 13.
