How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lennox’s arrival at UNIT HQ in Episode 16 (having escaped Reegan) sets the stage for the Brigadier’s investigation into his murder in Episode 17, directly linking the two episodes causally through Lennox’s fate."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lennox’s defection and exposure in Episode 16 leads to his murder, which is then discovered by the Brigadier in Episode 17. This creates a temporal and causal chain: his participation in the conspiracy in Episode 16 results in his death and the unravelling of the plot in Episode 17.
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.
