Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lesterson and Janley conceal Resno’s accident in Part 2, which later serves as leverage for Janley and Bragen to manipulate Lesterson and justify the murder weapon's origins in Part 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The simultaneous concealment of Resno’s accident in Part 2 enables Janley to weaponize this knowledge in Part 3, providing Bragen with a tool (the gun) tied to Resno’s death to manipulate rebels and further their coup. This directly escalates the danger posed by the Dalek experiments from regulatory interference to physical threat.
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.
