Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's undermining of colonial leadership in Episode 19 ('eating out of his hand') is mirrored by Caldwell's moral reckoning and defection in Episode 20, with Mary facilitating his transition to the colonists' side."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Caldwell's defection and Mary's role in accepting him as a fellow colonist serve as a microcosm of the larger theme of shifting allegiances—first exploited by the Master, then redeemed through Caldwell's choice. Mary's continuity as a facilitator of colony cohesion is emphasized.
