Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's strategy in Episode 28 to 'play them off against each other' (Tlotoxl and Autloc) escalates in Episode 29 as Tlotoxl directly confronts the Doctor about Yetaxa's tomb, revealing the fracture in their alliance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's manipulation of factional divides in Episode 28 creates the tension that Tlotoxl explicitly addresses in Episode 29 ('you try to get into the tomb without her knowledge'), demonstrating how the Doctor's earlier choices seed later conflict.
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.
