Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Etta’s seizure of power in Episode 3 (isolating Peri and enabling Peri’s capture) leads directly to Peri’s outburst against the Governor in Episode 4 after witnessing the Doctor’s faked death."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Etta’s power grab removes the Doctor from the scene, leaving Peri vulnerable. This sets up Peri’s grief-fueled confrontation with the Governor in Episode 4, as she attacks him in rage, believing the Doctor to be dead.
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.
