Having watched the whole of Season 1 of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, I'm not entirely sure where the tatsulok comes in and why the writers placed so much emphasis on it.
Kendra and Carter have known each other and loved one another for the last 4000 years and 206/207 lifetimes. This seems, to me at least, that this relationship has madami importance to the ipakita and to both characters. As everyone who either watches the Flash or palaso knows, the crossover episodes Legends of Today and Legends of Yesterday implies that Carter remembers his past lifetimes, including his first as Prince Khufu - which is where the information about Savage comes from -, and that Kendra is starting to remember her lifetimes, beginning with that all important first lifetime where she is Priestess Chay-Ara. As we go through Season 1, she starts to have madami and madami memory flashes as well as an important scene between Kendra and one of her past selves named Cinnamon in 1x11 (Magnificent Eight), which imply if not outright state that having a relationship with anyone other than Carter ends up in tragedy or heartbreak. This, I feel, is important to Kendra as she comes madami and madami to terms with what her and Carter's dynamic is.
Episode 1 and 2 of Season 1 of LoT ipakita Carter and Kendra together. Carter accepts that he will only be able to pag-ibig Kendra, seeing as he was already awake in the crossover episodes, and has reason to believe, through the 206 lifetimes he's lived, that this is true. How do you go through 4000 years and 206 lifetimes of loving the same person and not pag-ibig the current incarnation? For some unknown but at the same time understandable reason, Kendra refuses to see what is right in front of her. She's had a massive, probably mildly traumatic, experience of a madman trying to kill her and then a case of identity crises is dropped in her lap. She goes from understanding and knowing who she is to someone she doesn't. Carter is the only one, other than Sara and later Mick, to understand what is like being killed and then reborn.
In 1x13 (Leviathan), Kendra picks up Carter's mace, triggering a memory flashback which tells the viewers that the pair have been married in EIGHT/NINE lifetimes. This puts some of Carter's actions in the pilot episodes in a different light, not matter how creepy they can come across. Look at it another way category. When he tries to halik her and she pushes him away, whats not to say he is trying to halik her on the cheek? The touching as well. If they were married and Carter remembered those marriages, it blurs the lines of their relationship. It also brings the constant, "God if only you knew how much I pag-ibig you!" in Pilot: Part 1 into prospective. If he's loved her in all 206 of his lifetimes, why shouldn't it be the same for lifetime no. 207?
This becomes apparent later in the same episode and in 1x14 (River of Time) where one of Savage's soldiers is revealed to be the susunod incarnation of Carter. Kendra is forced to make an impossible decision - kill Savage and doom Carter or imprison Savage and possibly saving Carter. In choosing to save Carter, seeing as she now sees Carter as her rock and confidant, the person to always believe in her strength, she understands and trusts him like he trusted her at the beginning of the Season.
However, when Kendra was paired up with Ray, I think it was important for both to see what was right in front of them. Kendra needed to see and understand what Cinnamon meant when she sinabi "Tragedy or Heartbreak if the man's not Carter," and sinag needed the chance to see that he could ilipat pasulong from Anna's death in the martines City Siege and live his life without feeling like he was betraying her.
This is why I believe the writers killed off Carter in Pilot: Part 2 and then brought him back in episode 13, placing such an importance, through Kendra's flashbacks on the millennial's old relationship.
