Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Padmasambhava's possession of Victoria in Episode 9 (where she carries the Ghanta under his influence) mirrors Varga's forcible use of Victoria in Episode 12 (where she is coerced to help locate the 'black box'). Both episodes demonstrate antagonistic forces exploiting Victoria's vulnerability.
