How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Katryca’s arming of Broken Tooth in Episode 2 to hunt escapees (cand_evt_scene_840858f1eb91716b_1) sets the stage for her seizure of Drathro's castle in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_e77a58b59f9c83fd_1), as her earlier use of force emboldens her followers to act aggressively."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This link emphasizes Katryca’s escalating ambition and the growing boldness of her followers. Her earlier command to hunt rebels creates the precondition for her villagers’ later willingness to storm Drathro’s castle, showing how her use of violence in Episode 2 directly enables her conquest in Episode 3.
