Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Omega's alignment of scan coordinates in Episode 2 forces Colin (under thrall) to enable Omega's vengeance, which later manifests in Colin setting up a device in Episode 3 to warn/observe potential intruders."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The act of Frazer being forced to perform precise tasks under Omega's control in Episode 2 directly enables his actions in Episode 3 (placing the device). This shows Frazer's coerced agency as a component of Omega's broader plan.
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.
