Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tlotoxl’s declaration of Barbara as a divine vision in Episode 27 sets up his later accusations that her prophecies are self-serving and a pretense to eliminate heretics, which he promotes in Episode 28."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tlotoxl’s public presentation of Barbara as a vision (cand_evt_scene_9abf8d4e59ffa5da_02) is the basis for his argument in Episode 28 that her warnings are a cover for averting her own destruction (cand_evt_scene_e6c56e541c51e3bb_01). This is a direct evolution of his rhetorical strategy.
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.
