Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s calculated admission that he exploited Peri’s interrogation in Part 2 ('cand_evt_scene_a64547564ea332c9_1') drives his insistence on viewing the Matrix in Part 3 ('cand_evt_scene_6222b241bc716ed3_3'), as he seeks justification for his morally dubious actions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s need to rationalize past actions ('a64547564ea332c9') is the causal link to his demand to see the Matrix in Part 3 ('6222b241bc716ed3'). This reflects the Doctor’s growing reliance on procedural truth to validate his strategic choices.
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.
