Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Nyssa's protest and detention in Episode 15 directly provoke Valgard's aggression in Episode 16. Olvir's act of throwing Valgard down to save Nyssa is a direct consequence of Nyssa's early resistance, escalating the physical conflict and highlighting the moral stakes of her fight.
