Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Carstairs' hesitation to intervene in Episode 41 ('I wouldn't get anywhere near him') contrasts sharply with his aggressive action in Episode 42 (destroying the SIDRAT), showing a rapid maturation in his commitment to the resistance's cause. This reflects an escalation in the resistance's goals from survival to strategic offense.
