Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bor's revelation in Terminus Part 3 (Terminus is doomed, engines will fire again) directly causes the crisis in Terminus Part 4 where Bor and Sigurd huddle in a cell grappling with imminent collapse."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier scene establishes the terminal nature of Terminus's situation, which becomes the central crisis in the next episode. Bor's collapsing condition and the station's urgency create a direct continuation of the same life-or-death scenario.
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.
