Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Karlton’s activation of Emergency Plan B in Episode 13—triggered by knowledge of the Doctor’s group landing at the experimental station—directly leads to the failed transmission from Mira in Episode 14. Because Karlton’s Plan B dispersed the fugitives (Doctor, Steven, Sara) to Mira, the signal is lost, driving the experiment into chaos."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a core causal chain: Chen and Karlton’s hunt for traitors leads to dangerous experimentation, which escalates the crisis across episodes. It grounds the high-stakes political conflict in physical displacement, aligning with Karlton’s evolving complicity in Chen’s schemes.
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.
