Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Edgeworth's humilation and punishment by Mestor in Episode 23 directly results in his harsher treatment of the twins in Episode 24, where he abandons patience for coercion. This shows Edgeworth's continuity of behavior as Mestor's instrument, escalating the cruelty in his role.
