How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hedin’s private unease about the traitor claim in Episode 2 causes the Castellan’s later distrust and urgency to find the traitor in Episode 3, as the Castellan acts on perceived systemic threats."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hedin’s challenge to the Castellan in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_5462d08904233d88_1) about pursuing the traitor claim directly leads to the Castellan’s later investigation and suspicion about the Doctor’s termination. The Castellan’s procedural adherence to uncovering the truth reflects his continuity, though distorted by bureaucratic paranoia.
