Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan’s defiance of authority and her discovery of horrific truths (unaccountable deaths) in Part 2 directly motivates her taking charge of the phosphor lamp in Part 3. Her distrust of Frontios’s leadership (seen in the standoff with Range) fuels her proactive stance against the Tractators."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The uncovering of classified files in Part 2 is the catalyst for Tegan’s shift from victim to leader. Her defiance against Range (who embodies the colony’s brutality) translates into her physically repelling the Tractators in Part 3, marking her moral and narrative evolution.
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.
