Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Scorby's line in Episode 25 — 'if you do, I'll start again exactly where I left off' — is echoed by his literal abandonment in Episode 26, where he starts over by fleeing alone."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thematic continuity in Scorby's behavior: his threat of reprisal becomes literal self-preservation at others' expense. This reinforces his character arc as a transactional survivor who abandons alliances when threatened.
