Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kal's accusation of Za for the murder of the Old Woman (Ep 3) frames Za's leadership as contested and contingent—Za must now prove his legitimacy not only to his tribe but to the travelers, as seen in his interrogation of Hur (Ep 4)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Kal's coup attempt in Episode 3 establishes a continuing pressure on Za in Episode 4 where he is pressed to defend his leadership. This continuity drives his interrogation of Hur and his obsession with fire—both attempts to reassert control over his legitimacy.
