Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes underscore Carrington's authoritarian and manipulative tendencies: in Ep 17, he advocates for an unprovoked atomic strike, while in Ep 18, he stages a global broadcast to fabricate an alien threat. These parallel actions reveal his consistent abuse of power and the erosion of institutional trust.
