Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hade's panic and abandonment of systemic control in E15 escalates the stakes, directly motivating the Collector's intensified search in E16. This creates a causal chain where institutional breakdown (Hade's defection) drives the regime's collapse.
