Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This progression charts Lasky's descent from secrecy to outright complicity in masking threats. Her actions in Episode 11 (ignoring Bruchner's death threats and ordering his pursuit) demonstrate a hardening of her institutional role into unethical prioritization of the project over individual lives.
