Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 36, Susan articulates a philosophical position about earned trust that directly impacts her actions in Episode 37. When the group encounters Jean-Pierre, and later in the farmhouse with Rouvray and d'Argenson, Susan must rely on her ability to judge character under pressure—a direct extension of her Sensorite insights.
