Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Part 3, the Garm seizes Bor and drags him away, enforcing a natural limit on human interference and signaling the station’s autonomous will. In Part 4, the Doctor intentionally summons the Garm using a signal device, turning its earlier hostile act into an instrument of control — demonstrating a reversal enabled by prior observation of the Garm’s behavior."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Causal chain: the Garm’s behavior in Part 3 (abducting Bor) reveals its obedience to Terminus’s systems and forces. The Doctor exploits this in Part 4 by reverse-engineering a summons, turning a threat into a tool. Kari’s role in facilitating this (e.g., assisting with the signal) cements her as mediator between Doctor’s intellect and Terminus’s supernatural logic.
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.
