Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events showcase Tommy's physicality and opportunism when confronting authority figures or symbols of power. In Episode 22, he restrains Mike to take his pendant, while in Episode 23, he aggressively (but stealthily) observes and steals the crystal. This continuity of action highlights Tommy's growing boldness and his attraction to 'shiny' objects of power, setting up his later role as a key informant and accidental threat to Lupton.
