Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The guards' approach (Ep 7) forces the trio into a desperate escape, which foreshadows the immediate hostility in Ep 8 where Plantagenet's orderlies are already armed and aggressive, creating a causal chain from infiltration to open conflict.
