Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discarded belongings and changed locks in Episode 4 are directly referenced in Episode 5 when John forces Amanda's affair confession and demands she move out, reinforcing the finality of her expulsion."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
John's action of changing the locks in Episode 4 sets up the power dynamic where Amanda's removal is treated as inevitable. In Episode 5, John explicitly references this by demanding she gather 'her bits and pieces' and leave, making Episode 4's event a direct precursor to the expulsion.
