Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The death trap created by Rask’s fumigation in Episode 18 (Cand_evt_scene_01c81a0d3d74dc3a_2) directly sets the conditions for the bridge standoff in Episode 19 (Cand_evt_scene_1dd8d733d97b20c0_1). The Doctor’s group is routed into this confrontation because of Rask’s prior actions.

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.
