Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Judson's revelation in Part 2 that Fenric's curse seeks to possess treasures from the Silk Lands (rather than merely kill) escalates in Part 3 when he debates the practical deployment of Fenric's power with Millington."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This demonstrates the curse's true stakes becoming increasingly clear. Judson's initial insight in Part 2 about possession as Fenric's goal builds into Part 3 where he must confront whether Fenric's power can be controlled or if it will instead consume its wielders. The escalation reveals the curse's manipulative nature.
