Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Corwyn's decision to task Zoe with observing Jamie (Part 2) directly causes Zoe's later interrogation of the Doctor in Part 3. Zoe, having been positioned to monitor Jamie, begins applying the same rigorous skepticism to the Doctor's claims about memory loss."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This establishes Zoe as the skeptical rationalist who complements Corwyn's medical expertise. The chain begins with Corwyn's distrust of Jamie's evasiveness leading to Zoe's surveillance role, which then leads to Zoe's mathematical disproof of the Silver Carrier's impossible trajectory. This positions Zoe as the 'voice of reason' who challenges the Doctor's authority through scientific evidence rather than medical examination.

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.
