Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The verbal echo («Hildred: Castellan...») in both episodes signals a deliberate repetition of her institutional surrender. This callback reinforces Hildred’s character arc: she is not an independent actor but a conduit of authority, whose loyalty is both her strength and her undoing.
