Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Antedian medical crisis in Episode 19 (where Pulaski orders immediate action and stabilizes the delegates) establishes her medical authority, which directly leads to her being present and prepared to assess K'Ehleyr's atypical vitals in Episode 20."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a direct causal chain: Pulaski's proactive medical interventions in Episode 19 demonstrate her competence and preparedness under pressure, which justifies her presence and role in assessing the emergent envoy in Episode 20. Both scenes reinforce her reliability in crisis.
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.
