Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Glitz and Dibber's betrayal of the Doctor in Episode 3 (abandoning him to the service robot) directly motivates their later desperation to reunite with him in Episode 4. When Peri leads them to the subway hatch for rescue, their prior abandonment of the Doctor haunts them, making them re-evaluate their priorities."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection underscores Glitz's opportunistic loyalty—switching from abandoning the Doctor to reluctantly helping Peri rescue him, driven by both guilt and self-interest. It shows his character trajectory of selfishness giving way to reluctant cooperation.
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.
