Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The oppressive regime tactics escalate: from surveillance (surrounding Kent’s office) to violence (Fariah’s murder) and psychological pressure (Bruce’s confrontation). This forces Kent into more desperate, high-stakes retaliation.
