Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hobson's dismissive treatment of Ben in E23 ('keep him away from me') continues in E24 where Hobson marginalizes Ben's role entirely, reducing him to a messenger for bad news (e.g., patient disappearances)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
