Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces the theme of divine judgment and cursed land as Miss Hardaker's earlier hysterical condemnation of the girls' beach outing is immediately reprised in Episode 9, escalating the supernatural stakes. It marks the girls' defiance of her warnings as fulfillment of the curse.
