Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jones' urgent insistence to the Brigadier about confronting Global Chemicals (The Green Death Part 3) sets the stage for the immediate maggot attack on Hinks in Part 4. The escalating death toll and corporate inaction drive the crisis into a more lethal phase."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes the causal root of the crisis—Jones' early warnings about Global Chemicals directly lead to the physical manifestation of the threat (maggot attack) in the next episode, reinforcing the corporate culpability and escalating stakes.
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.
