Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
By unlocking the heavily secured door in Part 3, Jamie inadvertently traps himself in the Old Shaft in Part 4, creating the conditions for his desperate escape attempt and discovery of the rusted grating leading to the hidden passage. This is a direct cause-and-effect progression of Jamie’s actions.
