Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events highlight the lack of autonomy for characters caught under external influence. Padmasambhava’s expulsion shows his lack of agency under the Great Intelligence, while Varga’s decision to capture Victoria (rather than kill her) reflects the Ice Warriors’ deliberate use of humans as pawns for their goals.
