Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Swann's public revelation that 'it's nearly a year since anyone went on the surface with Salamander' (Ex. 21) foreshadows Astrid's eventual exposure of Salamander's lies and the underground community's violent backlash against her in Episode 22."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Swann's broadcast dismantles the illusion of Salamander's legitimacy, but it also plants the seeds of chaos. Astrid's later confrontation (Ex. 22) is the violent backlash this revelation invited, showing how truth can both liberate and endanger.
