Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bulic's skepticism about the airlock's stability in Episode 2 foreshadows (and enables) Turlough's impulsive decision to violently force open the bulkhead in Episode 3, creating a direct causal chain between the airlock's structural failure and Turlough's reckless intervention."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This link carries Turlough's trajectory from observation (noting the airlock's weakness) to action (forcing it open), escalating his role from survivor to disruptor. It ties into his broader pattern of manipulating systems he doesn't fully understand (tech vs. moral consequences).
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.
