Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Exorse's rescue of Steven and Dodo in Episode 1 leads directly to his later interrogation of Tor in Episode 3. His role as a 'savior' grants him initiative to later act independently as an interrogator, using his perceived authority to extract information through intimidation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain shows Exorse's transformation from a gatekeeper of the City to a violator of its own people. His partnership with Edal begins with diplomacy (Episode 1) and devolves into brute force (Episode 3), driven by his trust in the system and disdain for outsiders.
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.
