Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Laurence’s early empathy for the wounded (Warlock) and his scholarly curiosity about the Marconiscope set the stage for his emotional devastation when his brother Marcus is revealed as Sutekh’s vessel. This continuity drives Laurence’s arc from skepticism to desperate action in Episode 10.
