Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegana's initial aggression (Episode 19) is directly carried forward into Episode 20, where he abandons deception entirely and acts openly as Noghai's warlord. The same ruthless tactics (hostage-taking, violence) escalate into murderous intent.
