How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Summers' professional framing of Barnham as an empty vessel in Episode 6 explains his dismissive, unemotional reaction to Jo and Barnham's card game in Episode 7 ('I'd best see what's happening') — treating their interaction as routine despite the escalating crisis.
