Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jano's order to take the Doctor away and prepare for the 'in-transference' directly escalates the conflict, leading to the Savages' knowledge of the Doctor's capture and impending use."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes the direct causal chain from the Doctor's condemnation of Jano's moral justification (Episode 2) to the Savages' awareness of the Doctor's fate (Episode 3). It ties the Doctor's moral defiance to the immediate peril faced by the crew, driving the narrative forward.

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.
