Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's struggle to maintain control during the dinosaur crisis in Episode 5 (cand_evt_scene_e92cbd0a25655d95_1) creates the conditions for his tense confrontation with the Doctor in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_0d8f2dcb08e22946_5), where the Brigadier's authority is directly challenged."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier's exhaustion and overstretched command in Episode 5 set up his authoritative but strained presence in Episode 6, where he must confront the Doctor's unauthorized actions. This escalates the command conflict from institutional collapse to direct interpersonal friction.
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.
