Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Old Woman’s act of freeing the travelers using Za’s flint (assumed to be fire-making tool) in Episode 3 parallels the travelers’ later use of skeletal remains and fire as a psychological weapon in Episode 4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The flint (a tool for fire) becomes symbolic: from an instrument of liberation to one of terror. This callback links the tribe’s fear of fire with the travelers’ eventual exploitation of it.
