How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both parties prioritize the treasure over loyalty—Pike does so with Cherub in E4 after initially exploiting him in E3 (via the Squire's smuggling network). This reflects Pike's transactional morality.
