Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pattern—military precision escalating to lethal overreach—connects the two scenes. Green’s order to trap the wounded (‘They must not escape’) mirrors Ben’s capture attempt and shows how WOTAN’s control tightens, eliminating any possibility of opposition.
