Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s abandonment of Peri and Lang in Episode 25 (cand_evt_scene_36c6ca206d4b39b7_3) forces Peri to rely on Lang and Azmael, enabling their defiant revelation of Mestor’s plan in Episode 26 (cand_evt_scene_d4fe7ec87b6bd222_3)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s cowardice in Episode 25 fractured the group’s cohesion. In Episode 26, this fracture creates the space for Peri to form uneasy alliances with Lang and Azmael, leading to the twins’ critical calculations (cand_evt_scene_d4fe7ec87b6bd222_3) that expose Mestor.
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.
