Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Terrall's erratic behavior and violence in the stables (Part 3) lead to his violent outburst at Toby, setting up the aftermath (disposal of Toby's body) and the fractured alliances that dominate Part 4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The violent confrontation in Part 3 (Terrall attacking Toby) is directly tied to the disposal of Toby's body and the subsequent moral conflicts between Waterfield and Maxtible in Part 4. This shows how one incident propels the narrative forward across episodes.
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.
