Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chang's hypnosis of Jago in Ep. 22 to erase Buller's memory directly escalates to Jago's subsequent cover-up actions in Ep. 23, where he maintains theatrical composure despite the ruptured cover from the awakened woman's distress."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chang's psychological control over Jago in Ep. 22 (hypnotically erasing his memory) creates a direct consequence in Ep. 23 where Jago must contain the fallout of Chang's exposed network. This enforces Jago's role as a survivor who masks danger with bluster, tying his intra-personal fear of supernatural threats to his escalated protective behavior in public crises.
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.
