Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Security Orderly's injury and dazed state (from Episode 7, during the infiltration) directly causes him to be dependent on Turlough's assistance in Episode 8, where he is seen being supported and later scatters under chaos."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the continuity of the Security Orderly's physical vulnerability and role as a pawn of colonial authority. His injury in E7 makes him a liability, and in E8, his scattered reaction shows the colony's systemic breakdown, reinforcing his position as enforcer without agency.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
