Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's interrogation of Autloc about his divided allegiance in Episode 28 (whether he truly believes in her divinity) leads directly to Tlotoxl's later decision in Episode 29 to exclude Autloc from the poison test, knowing he would object."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallels Autloc's internal conflict: while he questions Barbara’s divinity, he still protects her up to a point. Tlotoxl exploits this ambiguity by excluding him from the test, showing how distrust between the priests fuels their rivalry.
