Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's probing of colony security and governance in Episode 9 leads directly to Hensell's suspicion and isolation orders, which in turn lead to Bragen obstructing the Doctor's access to Hensell in Episode 10."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hensell's isolation orders in Episode 9 (cand_evt_scene_7a1d9273d789d2e8_01, linked via intra) create the bureaucratic friction that Bragen enforces in Episode 10 when he refuses the Doctor access to the Governor. This chain of authority escalates the tension.

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.
