Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This chain shows how abandonment and entrapment affect the group: Ian trapped physically, Vicki 'trapped' emotionally and physically without allies. It ties Vicki's actions to the consequences of Ian's earlier plea to 'go back'.
