Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benik’s murder of Fariah and seizure of the dossier directly causes Bruce’s revelation of her murder and the file’s disappearance to the resistance in Episode 21. This forces the Doctor and Kent to reassess their plan and adapt to the loss of critical evidence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Fariah’s death is a direct consequence of her defection and possession of the dossier. Her murder escalates the conflict, as the resistance loses a key asset and the regime gains a tactical advantage. This event drives the narrative forward by creating a new obstacle for the resistance to overcome.
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.
