Their relationship connects an internal police interview to the later consequences of corruption and organized crime.
In Season 5, Steve participates in Maneet's interview, and in Season 6 the weapons linked to Gail Vella's murder are also linked to Maneet's killing.
Their connection is evidential rather than interpersonal, joining Maneet's death to the continuing corruption network.
Season 6 links the weapons used to kill Maneet to the same wider weapons investigation in which Ryan is exposed as a violent corrupt officer.
