Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Butler's rigid adherence to the time transference schedule (enforced by Martin Jarvis's disciplined execution) directly enables the rogue scientists' (Whitaker, Butler) plan to weaponize temporal energy. The 'power output debate' in Episode 6 sets the precedent for the lack of flexibility that later allows the T-Rex attack to happen as a distraction."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Martin Jarvis's role as Whitaker's chief operations officer is established in Episode 6, where he enforces the rigid schedule with 'clinical detachment.' This institutional rigidity is a prerequisite for the later conspiracy, as it ensures that the temporal displacement experiment remains on track despite mounting complications—culminating in Yates learning about the T-Rex attack in Episode 7.
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.
