Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The power log tampering discovered in Episode 5 directly causes the need for cover-up actions in Episode 6, as Quinn and Dawson must falsely report normal readings."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's discovery of torn power log pages in Episode 5 (cand_evt_scene_3b3b99b76dc13826_03) reveals a deliberate cover-up tied to power failures. In Episode 6, Quinn and Dawson must cover up recurring power anomalies by claiming 'normal readings,' directly driven by the unresolved issue of tampered logs (cand_evt_scene_c5e7dbb6d71981ac_01). The earlier event causes the need for the later cover-up.
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.
