Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tom's initial obedience to Kewper (seen in Episode 1) evolves into his role as a gaoler in Episode 2. This continuity illustrates how Tom's position within the village hierarchy deepens his involvement in the conflict, making him a more significant figure rather than a passive observer.
