Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Scarlioni's blueprint revelation (Episode 7) and Mona Lisa heist (Episode 7) directly enable his ability to threaten Paris with an unstabilized time field (Episode 8), as the temporal technology and stolen art proceeds from the same intensified plan."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connects the escalation of Scarlioni's temporal scheme across episodes, showing how his earlier actions (theft, forced compliance) directly lead to his leverage over Romana in Episode 8 through the unstabilized time field.
About Causal Connections
