Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This cross-episode link traces Alexander's development from a child who reacts with shock and accusation when faced with an intangible enemy, to a resourceful operative who uses stealth and initiative to steal critical supplies. The experience with Isabella likely sharpened his situational awareness and ability to act without direct orders.
