Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link deepens the tragedy of the group's fragmentation. Susan's worsening condition, first mentioned in Episode 40, becomes a vulnerability exploited by the revolutionaries in Episode 41, linking medical urgency to political capture.
