Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The revelation of Stahlman's monstrous transformation in Episode 23 escalates the threat to the reactor's stability in Episode 24. The drill-head's impact fractures the reactor shaft, triggering violent tremors that force an evacuation, directly linking Stahlman's mutation to the reactor's collapse."
