Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s frantic announcement of Victoria’s abduction and Varga’s revival raises the stakes and compels Arden—already feeling guilt for Davis’s death—to volunteer for the dangerous mission to the glacier. This establishes Arden’s evolving guilt and responsibility arc across episodes.
