Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The violent confrontation in Part 3 (Terrall attacking Toby) is directly tied to the disposal of Toby's body and the subsequent moral conflicts between Waterfield and Maxtible in Part 4. This shows how one incident propels the narrative forward across episodes.
