Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Caven's escalation towards eliminating the Doctor and companions (Part 5) establishes his pattern of ruthless elimination, which directly leads to his remote hijacking of the Liz 79 (Part 6) to punish Milo and Dom for unintended interference."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Caven's earlier assertion that 'we'll both end up in a nirvan chamber' if the Doctor's group isn't removed sets up his later violent elimination tactics. The continuity of his ruthless decision-making (from killing prisoners to sabotaging ships) reveals his character trajectory towards escalating cruelty and control.
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.
