Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Toby's blackmail in Part 3 directly leads to his death, which is a pivotal event in Part 4, causing a ripple effect of guilt, fractured alliances, and Terrall's increased control. This is a clear example of an event causing consequences across episode boundaries.
