Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection links the team's immediate survival need (the key to escape the mountain) to their long-term moral mission (the key as evidence of innocence). Susan's role in verifying the key's retrieval bridges both contexts, reinforcing its narrative centrality.
