Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarah's capture in Episode 14 (via the Doctor's decoy plan) directly leads to her confinement in the Kraal brig in Episode 15, where she is held alongside the Doctor. This captivity sets the stage for her subsequent escape and rescue attempt."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Sarah's capture in Episode 14 is the immediate cause of her imprisonment in Episode 15. Her presence in the brig during Episode 15 stems from the events of Episode 14, creating a causal chain that drives the plot forward.
