Narrative Connection

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Kettering’s dismissal of Barnham's violent reaction as 'a completely successful treatment' in Episode 5 is underscored by Barnham’s inability to recall his name and trauma in Episode 6."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Kettering’s blind confidence in the machine (Episode 5) is directly contradicted by Barnham’s psychological devastation (Episode 6), providing a clear irony and reinforcing the critique of the Keller process.
