Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection tracks Hobson's deteriorating mental state, which began in E23's intra-connections (Hobson's erratic breakdown) and now directly fuels the global emergency in E24. Benoit's role as Hobson's sounding board/voice of reason also bridges both episodes.
