Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate

"Barrington's suspicion (driving the Sentry's actions) mirrors the increased brutality seen when the Redcoat is thrown into Jamie's cell: enforcers' violence escalates from restraint to direct imprisonment of a displaced person."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The unrelenting suspicion and confinement tactics from Episode 35 worsen in Episode 36, as Jamie faces not just human opponents but a displaced, disoriented soldier, intensifying the theme of dehumanized control.
