A script-line index of what each episode plants and what each episode pays back.
A seed and a callback are one chain read from opposite ends. When a distinctive phrase turns up in more than one episode, its first appearance is the seed and every later appearance is a callback. That single structure produces all three views below.
Raw word rarity cannot separate a signature term from ordinary speech in a corpus this size. Both spacetime and according appear about fifteen times. The separator used here is proper-noun-hood, measured by how often a word is capitalized in the middle of a sentence across the transcripts.
Chains are then restricted to referents outside the regular cast, since character names recur in nearly every episode and carry no callback signal.
Known catchphrases checked against the transcripts. Only phrases with real in-script hits appear, with the episode counts found.
Every distinctive non-cast referent that crosses an episode boundary.

Read forward. What each episode plants that a later episode collects.
Read backward. What each episode reaches back for.
All 64 episodes with transcripts, in order.
These are written claims pulled out of the archived conversations, where an episode's setup is named alongside the episode that collects it. They are separate from the mechanical chains above, which detect recurrence without reading intent. 116 claims survived show filtering. Only 2 of those carry evidence for which episode they belong to, spread across 2 episode(s); the other 114 are shown without an episode citation because the text does not support one. Anchor rule: inline S##E##, else an inline episode title, else the running heading within 3 paragraphs. Anything further from its heading is recorded unanchored.
Correction, 2026-08-31. An earlier build showed 116 receipts across 12 episodes. Those citations came from a heading tracker that never expired, so a claim inherited whatever episode heading appeared earlier in the conversation. Measured: 92.5% of them sat 31+ paragraphs from that heading, median 143 paragraphs and 16,266 characters, worst 1,617 paragraphs, and not one named its own episode. The counts above are what survives evidence.

Every chain, runner and episode entry comes from the 64 transcripts on hand, covering seasons 2 and 3 in full.
Seasons 1, 4, 5 and 6 have no transcripts in the archive yet, so no line-level claim is made about them. A phrase marked as seeded in season 2 may well have an earlier origin in season 1. Those origins get added when the season 1 transcripts land.
Quotations are held to phrase length throughout. This is an index of where lines recur, not a reproduction of the scripts.
