Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This chain of events binds Turlough to the Ranulf family’s feud and frames him as a target of betrayal and accusation. His early physical vulnerability (cornered, mocked) escalates into false blame by the end of the two-part story.

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
