Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Mary transitions from victimized witness to active helper. In Episode 522, she identifies the source of her trauma (Kent); in Episode 815, she immediately aids a victim of the new threat (Norton). This shows her applying hard-won lessons from the bunker—now she acts swiftly to support the injured and confront danger.
