Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's earlier successful invocation of Azal (with the coven's chanting amplification) directly enables his later escalation of the ritual to sacrifice Jo Grant, as Azal is now present and responding to the Master's demands."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The summoning in Episode 24 creates the supernatural stakes and power dynamic that the Master exploits in Episode 25 by sacrificing Jo. Without Azal's initial appearance and the coven's role in channeling the Daemon, the later ritual would lack its supernatural context and force.
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.
