Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wrack's psychological torture of Turlough in Episode 19 (stripping his spacesuit, dangling cutlass threat) directly enables her ability to manipulate him in Episode 20 (offering Enlightenment as a reward for betrayal). The earlier brutality creates the power imbalance she exploits later."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows how Wrack's initial sadism establishes dominance over Turlough, making him susceptible to her offers of power in Episode 20. The traumatic control from Episode 19 bleeds into his compliance in Episode 20.
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.
