EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode six of twenty-six, 'Raindrops' arrives in the early stretch of the series where standalone cases are doing the heavy lifting of establishing Robin's world and relationships within STN-J. Following the previous episode's investigation into a missing businessman among the homeless, this installment pivots toward a more personal mystery for Robin, deepening her characterization and building the foundation for the series' larger exploration of witchcraft's societal implications. It functions as a bridge episode, quietly layering themes and trust dynamics that become increasingly important as the season progresses toward its more serialized second half.
