Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kelly's confirmation of the rocket's operational status in Episode 24 (ZA685 'all readings alpha green') causes Radnor's mounting frustration in Episode 25 with Moonbase's silence, as Brent's optimism ('Kelly will sort things out') contrasts with Radnor's dire concerns."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The technical precision and urgency Kelly demonstrates in Episode 24's launch sequence directly impact Radnor's reliance on her skills in Episode 25. Her operational success sets up the expectation for her competence, which Radnor clings to despite Brent's complacency.
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.
