Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benton and Jo's escape through the palace doors under cover fire in Ep 3 directly enables the event in Ep 4 where Ollis physically restrains Jo to force her to evacuate."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Ep 3, Ollis and the Brigadier break open doors to save Benton and Jo, establishing trust and shared danger. In Ep 4, Ollis replicates this protective instinct by restraining Jo to 'prevent her from disrupting the escape,' showing character consistency and narrative causality between the two rescue efforts.
