Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The loss of Bessie in Episode 1 creates a narrative anchor for its later reappearance as a critical escape tool in Episode 4. This establishes consistency in the vehicle's role as both a target of the threat and a lifeline, reinforcing the escalation of danger and resourcefulness required to survive.
