Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ace's deliberate self-sacrifice in Episode 5 leads directly to the Doctor's surface exit in Episode 6, where he confronts bureaucrats like Trevor Sigma in the streets. The Doctor's movement from the underground (pipes) to surface activism reflects a trajectory enabled by allies' risks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ace's arrest is the pivot point enabling the Doctor's deeper probe; her peril forces the Doctor to navigate both the regime's public face (Helen A, patrol) and its underworld (pipes). His surfacing in Episode 6 is a narrative consequence of this risk displacement.
