Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Adric's initial trauma from the android pursuit into Episode 15, driving his immediate emotional reaction and setting his impulsive behavior in motion. It links the external threat (Terileptil pursuit) with Adric's internal state (distress, urgency).
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.
