Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Nimrod's quiet compassion for the trapped entity in Episode 5 transitions into active intervention on Ace's behalf in Episode 6, marking a shift from passive observation to protective action against Josiah's machinations. This reinforces his evolving role as a moral counterbalance to Smith's experiments.
