Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes show Jamie encountering figures in authority who dismiss alarming evidence. Senex ignores Cully's warnings (Episode 2), and Bovem stonewalls Jamie about Zoe's whereabouts (Episode 3). This parallel reinforces Jamie’s growing distrust of Dulcian authority holders as threats escalate.
