Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Morgaine’s brutal elimination of Lavel reflects the collapse of institutional order (Bambera’s military intervention) and the rise of mythic forces. Elizabeth’s voice ('I can see') underscores the shift from mundane authority to supernatural revelation.
