Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Salateen's strategic plan to use an android double for disinformation in Episode 21 (cand_evt_scene_5327e3a260f9a9a8_1) directly causes his downfall in Episode 22 (cand_evt_scene_cc5fee5bd7e0284a_02), where the same android (or its associate) ambushes and executes him during the cave assault."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Salateen's decision to exploit the android's loyalty in Episode 21 inadvertently leads to his death in Episode 22. His reliance on memory tied to his past interactions (including Peri's escape) becomes his fatal flaw, as the android's presence turns against him, demonstrating the unintended consequences of his tactical thinking.
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.
