How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The events share a direct enemy (the malfunctioning robot D84) and escalate the threat. In Part 1, Leela fights against D84's hostile intent; in Part 2, she directly encounters its aftermath through Cass's corpse bearing the same targeting system's mark.
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.
