Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The playful metaphor of goldfish and the theme of irretrievable homes in Episode 18’s pond scene foreshadows Ping-Cho’s abrupt departure and Susan’s emotional reaction in Episode 19. This continuity emphasizes Susan’s capacity for empathy amid her own displacement.
