Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Robson’s refusal to shut down the gas flow in Ep 30, despite Van Lutyens’ urgent warnings, leads directly to the impeller malfunction and his eventual breakdown in Ep 31."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Robson’s insistence on maintaining production at all costs in Ep 30 causes the system to fail catastrophically in Ep 31. His earlier defiance becomes the cause of the very disaster he refused to prevent—both mechanical (impeller blockage) and human (authority collapse).
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.
