Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thea's subtle questions about Colby's absence and her blackout in E9 set up Fendelman's expanding conspiracy in E10, where he admits to clandestine experiments with Stael and a radical reinterpretation of human origins. This escalation ties their earlier tension to the supernatural threat.
