Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Marshal's tactic of using false authority and entrapment (seen in 'The Armageddon Factor Part 1' where Astra is led into K Block) mirrors Grendel's psychological manipulation in 'The Androids of Tara Part 4,' where prisoners are forced into ritualistic subjugation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events reveal a pattern of leadership using deception and control to eliminate opposition. The causal link lies in the shared method of tyranny: exploiting trust (or false authority) to isolate and destroy victims.
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.
