Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Frances's ritualistic assembly of a petrol bomb in Episode 5 directly parallels her ritualistic grooming of Ryan in Episode 6—both involve calculated, methodical actions to 'control' her surroundings. The petrol bomb represents her destructive impulse to 'purify' her world, while grooming Ryan is her attempt to 'reclaim' Tommy Lee Royce's presence through manipulation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This traces Frances's trajectory from a latent, violent fixation (petrol bomb) to an active, performative fixation (grooming Ryan). Both actions are driven by her obsession with Tommy Lee Royce and her desire to 'protect' or control his legacy, even if it means harming others (including Ryan).
