Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mel's probing questions in Episode 5 about the Towers' decay and the In-betweens' departure prime the audience for the escalation of disappearances in Episode 6. This mirrors the Rezzies' fragmented memories of the past and their current anxiety over the missing Caretakers.
