Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Forrester's cover-up of Farrow's murder (and Smithers' complicity) directly enables his later ability to impersonate Farrow to gain DN6 approval, as the authority figures and others already expect communications from Farrow."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The murder cover-up and the impersonation are successive steps in Forrester's escalation of deception — each act normalizes the next, showing how unethical behavior compounds under pressure.
