Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The failed revival of Tharil in Episode 18 (violent revival attempt) directly triggers Romana's urgent escape and the discovery of the burnt Tharil corpse in Episode 19, which then leads to Packard seizing Romana."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The violent revival's failure and the scene of the burnt Tharil corpse (implied to be from Episode 18's failed revival) create immediate peril for Romana in Episode 19. The presence of the burnt Tharil corpse in the breach area forces Romana into confrontation with Packard, escalating the episode's stakes.
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.
