Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The violent assault on the bungalow and Rod’s death (Episode 17) escalates the danger, directly leading to Kent’s decision to reveal the real Doctor’s presence to Astrid (Ep 18), a tactical shift in the resistance’s operation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failed safe house incident forces the resistance to rethink strategy. Kent no longer hides the Doctor’s presence—an escalation in transparency and risk acceptance—so Astrid can better coordinate operations, now knowing who she’s truly working with.
