Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"The bombing attempt attempted in Episode 5 (David signaling the bomb attack) directly leads to Tyler’s return and announcement of failure in Episode 6, which triggers the fracturing of the resistance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failed mission’s consequences (heavy casualties, Tyler’s abandonment) are a direct outcome of the resistance’s decision to proceed with the attack instigated in Episode 5.
