Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kalik's deliberate move in Episode 7 to leave the eradicator unattended (ignoring Orum's warnings) creates the operational opening in Episode 8 where Orum secretly disables it, enabling Kalik to provide him with a sabotaged weapon as part of their framing scheme."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The gap in oversight created when Kalik leaves the eradicator unattended directly facilitates the sabotage, showing how procedural negligence is weaponized into conspiracy.
About Causal Connections
