Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The tactics developed in Episode 1—monitoring opponents, identifying weaknesses, and leveraging environmental factors—become the core of their coordinated assault in Episode 2. The earlier acts of predatory observation directly enable their rebellion strategy.
