Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The chaos in Central Control after the Dodecahedron theft in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_3842398a244539a6_1) directly enables Lexa's power seizure in Episode 7 (cand_evt_scene_011d98653dcfc1bc_1), as the absence of stable leadership allows her coup."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights how institutional breakdown in Episode 6 (due to Meglos's theft) creates the power vacuum that Lexa exploits in Episode 7. Zastor's faltering leadership in Episode 6 foreshadows his removal in Episode 7.
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.
