Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's sabotage that caused critical electrical surges in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_939d7a69980688ee_1) directly causes the black light system failures detected by Tandrell and Humker in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_78ac86c535bc6575_1). Tandrell explicitly suspects the Doctor as the cause of the problem."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link shows Tandrell's growing awareness of external threats to Drathro's regime, which ultimately leads to Drathro's downfall. The Doctor's actions in Episode 2 create the central conflict that drives the entire storyline forward into Episode 3.
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.
