Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarah's discovery of Salamar's duplicity (quarantine breach and hidden agenda) in Episode 5 directly leads to Salamar's accusation of treason against the Doctor and Sarah in Episode 6 (using the discovery as justification for execution orders)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Salamar's distrust of outsiders, established in Episode 5, reaches a breaking point in Episode 6, where she uses perceived betrayal as justification for extreme measures.
