Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's physical impulsiveness in Episode 5 (chasing the bag into the stable yard and barn) transitions into mission-driven impulsiveness in Episode 6 (agreeing to disguise herself as May Queen). Both actions stem from a protective instinct—Tegan protecting her belongings in Episode 5, then protecting the village by infiltrating the ritual in Episode 6—showing growth in the stakes of her impulsivity.
