Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's warning to the Brigadier in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_c3a4b6dd4a03ce9b_01) to be careful because they don't know what they're following directly causes the Brigadier's decision in Episode 7 to escalate military action (cand_evt_scene_aa8c6e8e13122872_02), as his fear of the unknown drives him toward decisive action."
