Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback highlights LeMaitre's facade of politeness hiding his authoritarian tendencies. It shows his consistency in using language and control to maintain power across episodes.
