Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Morgus's murder of the President in Episode 21 directly causes his consolidation of power and desperate authority struggles in Episode 22, where he publicly abuses Stotz for insubordination. The President's death initially appears as a political coup but escalates into a broader power vacuum and infighting among factions when Morgus overreaches."
