Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kane's plot to manipulate Glitz into the treasure hunt (via the tracking device) directly escalates into Belazs's confrontation with Glitz over control of the Nosferatu in Episode 13. Kane's control over Belazs and Glitz's debt sets up their confrontation in the cliff base standoff."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Kane's strategic use of Glitz's debt and the tracking device in E12 (cand_evt_scene_e37141ed458dc73b_1) creates the direct impetus for Belazs's later actions in E13, including her defiance and the standoff with Glitz. This demonstrates Kane's long-term manipulative planning across episodes.
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.
