Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The integration of Barbara and Susan into the resistance in Episode 4 (rescue by Tyler, role assignment by David) directly causes their presence in the underground HQ in Episode 5, where Jenny assigns Susan a passive task (ankle care) and bars her from combat roles."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan’s role in the resistance is enabled by her rescue in Episode 4 and shaped by the subsequent integration in Episode 5. Her liminal position—physically present but denied agency—stems from connections across both episodes, highlighting her gradual sidelining despite her heritage.
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.
