Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Monk's initial reactions in Episode 36 (e.g., "I wonder. Oh, I wonder.") reflect his curiosity and anticipation, which evolve into his overt orchestration of the Viking invasion in Episode 37 (e.g., "At last!"). This continuity in his character arc highlights his growing confidence in manipulating history.
