Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Solon's order to remove the Doctor's brain (in Episode 17) directly causes his violent reaction upon discovering the Doctor's absence (in Episode 18). The Doctor's survival threatens Solon's plans, prompting his furious tirade against Condo and the Sisterhood."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a direct cause-and-effect relationship where Solon's earlier actions (ordering the Doctor's brain removal) lead to his desperate and escalating measures in the next episode.
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.
