Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection ties the ethical dilemmas across episodes: Edgeworth's and Azmael's use of children as tools for greater 'saving' (of Jaconda) drives the Doctor's actions in Episode 25, where he physically attacks Azmael. It escalates the stakes from localized abuse to planetary genocide.

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.
