Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Grover’s role as the architect of the time-reset conspiracy begins in Ep 9 with his collaboration with Whitaker and continues in Ep 10 as the conspiracy unravels. His initial confidence in the plan's efficacy (demonstrated in Ep 9) contrasts sharply with the panic and disruption he faces in Ep 10, marking a clear escalation in his crisis management and moral culpability.
