Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In the interrogation room in Part 5, Jamie directly references the murder of Alexander Denes as part of his defiant challenge: 'And why destroy the one man the people trusted, Alexander Denes?' This is a direct callback that ties the consequences of Part 3 into the moral stakes of Part 5.
