Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The tension from misidentification and arrest in Episode 35 feeds directly into the physical confrontation in Episode 36, where Wyatt's resolve to protect 'his prisoner' (the Doctor) leads him to use force against the Clantons. This underscores Wyatt's trajectory as a figure who escalates from negotiation to outright violence to maintain law and order.
