How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Millington’s revelation of the Fenric threat in Episode 8 leads directly to his tangible demonstration of a mass-casualty weapon based on the ancient toxin in Episode 9. His belief in prophecy no longer remains theoretical—it has matured into a program of genocide."
