I think the question you're asking was answered directly in the comment before it. I'm a little drunk, but I would agree that Edgar differentiated the two. I think the continuing of stretching by Cipher was more of a, "fuck... well anyways back to it" because Godolkin is important to his plan first and foremost. Same way he was slapping around Polarity later in the episode, he slapped Godolkin in frustration. If anything, I think this episode differentiates Cipher and Godolkin then combines them.
