Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 105, Tom's remark 'What genius possessed her?' attributes cunning to Jane. In Episode 106, Jane herself articulates a detailed plan of how Anne might delay her downfall, proving that the earlier hint of her acumen was indeed foreshadowing her own strategic mind—not just her brothers' exploitation.
