Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Yates’ selfless act in Axos foreshadows his continued operational engagement in The Daemons, where Benton resents Yates’ more active role. It reflects a shift in Yates’ field presence and Benton’s reactive stance—an emotional and narrative escalation of Yates’ field authority.
