Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Baker’s ambush and wounding in Episode 6 by a Silurian Scout causes Quinn to identify him by name in Episode 7 as the one who 'wounded one of them,' triggering Quinn’s urgent mission to retrieve the Silurian."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is the causal link that propels the human-collaborator plot forward. Baker’s action becomes the reason Quinn is motivated to act, foreshadowing his alliance with the Silurians. Without Baker’s attack in Episode 6, Quinn’s betrayal in Episode 7 wouldn't occur.
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.
