Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The violent standoff in E18, including the ambush and Norton’s death, directly escalates into Dent’s retaliatory trial and sentencing (E19), where he presides as a tyrant. Morgan’s role as executor in both scenes underscores the cycle of violence Morgan perpetuates on behalf of Dent’s authority.
