Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wrack's psychological torture of Turlough as 'live bait' for Striker mirrors Turlough's later impulsive button-pressing that triggers a security breach. In both cases, Turlough is used or acts as a trigger for a trap, reflecting his recurring role as an unwitting catalyst for danger."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes place Turlough in a position where his presence or action (whether coerced by Wrack or impatient in Ep1) sets off a chain of peril. This underscores his ongoing struggle with agency and consequence.
