Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dortmun’s unveiling of the bomb as a viable weapon in E5 leads directly to his final, fatal attempt to detonate it alone in E6. The plan to 'attack the saucer in one hour' in E5 becomes his isolated, doomed mission in E6 after the raid’s failure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The bomb’s deployment moves from a group strategy (E5) to a desperate, solitary act (E6). The same physical object (the bomb) and its flawed nature create a causal chain from hope to tragedy.
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.
