Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara’s early skepticism (cand_evt_scene_013e2b68a6794277_03) contrasts with Polo’s growing doubt and eventual manipulation by Tegana (cand_evt_scene_68b1a06871cc000f_01). This escalation highlights the consequences of unchecked suspicion and manipulation.
