Sometimes something sticks out, like a Chekhov’s gun, and you’re just waiting for it to make it’s way back into the story. Not all of the small details, obviously. But you can pick up some things on a single read through that you expect to come back into play… even if you have a horrible memory.

I agree that some connections may be made, but also that sometimes we expect there to be something later, and there isn’t. So, that goes both ways.
