Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Neeva's growing doubt and hidden resistance in Episode 15 (her hesitation in relaying the Doctor's command) foreshadows her eventual seizure of the disrupter in Episode 16—an act of defiance that directly enables Calib and Tomas's telepathic manipulation by Xoanon."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Neeva's character trajectory from internal conflict (doubt in Episode 15) to external action (seizing the disrupter in Episode 16). Her moment of hesitation in Episode 15 acts as a narrative pivot, setting up her later attempt to reclaim agency, albeit tragically.
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.
