Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Blake's early exposure to Knight's flawed authority (and his own skepticism) evolves into a direct investigation of the tunnel explosion in Episode 24, where he discovers the detonator sabotage alongside Arnold. This establishes Blake's consistent role as a questioning military operative whose skepticism leads to critical discoveries.
