Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes a direct cause-and-effect chain: Sevcheria’s actions in Episode 12 (ambushing the villa) lead to Barbara’s captivity in Episode 13 (chain of custody via slave cells). The physical and psychological trauma carries over seamlessly.
