EPISODE CONTEXT

Following 'Approaching Javert,' which left Valjean and Cosette in a dangerously exposed position, this episode shifts into the desperate search for sanctuary and the unexpected alliances that make survival possible. Sitting at episode 18 of 52, the series is still in its earlier dramatic chapters, building the foundational pressures that will define Valjean and Cosette's journey. 'Forgotten Reunion' directly sets the stage for 'Cosette Taken Into Custody,' signaling that the relative shelter found here will soon give way to new complications.
