How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s disorientation and loss of leadership (cand_evt_scene_ae4e3a4d09d1fe78_01) directly causes Lobos to exploit the crew’s fragmentation in Episode 28, as Lobos orders pursuit parties to split the group (cand_evt_scene_7937d8e596b99bcf_01)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
