Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Kate's knowledge of the Clanton's plans in Episode 34 sets up their later aggression toward allies (Steven) in Episode 35. The tension shifts from an ambush on Holliday to bullying his allies, escalating the stakes and showing the Clanton's broadened hostility.
