Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Slyther’s presence in Episode 7 as a lurking threat (introduced in dialogue) transitions into a physical peril in Episode 8, where it indirectly triggers Larry’s fall and injury by creating the chaotic environment leading to the bucket’s sudden movement.
