Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tlotoxl's frustration with Barbara's evasion in Episode 28 (his theological tests) directly drives him to extract the tomb secrets from Ixta in Episode 29, hoping to expose her as a fraud."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's role in Episode 28 (facilitating Barbara's divine facade) and Tlotoxl's discovery of the tomb's importance (via Ixta) create a direct narrative thread that spans episodes.
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.
