Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Krynoid tendril infecting Keeler during Episode 24's escape directly causes his monstrous transformation and sets up Sarah's revelation to Scorby in Episode 25 about Keeler's true identity as the Krynoid."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection anchors the plot's continuity across episodes: the physical act of infection (seen in Ep 24) leads directly to the narrative revelation (in Ep 25) that Keeler is now the Krynoid. It keeps Sarah's knowledge and actions consistent while escalating the threat.
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.
