Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Costa's refusal to act on the Doctor's warnings in Episode 14 (about Vraxoin) leads directly to his complicity in Fisk's seizure of power in Episode 15, where he physically restrains Captain Rigg."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights the causal chain of institutional failure: Costa's initial inaction (Episode 14) enables Fisk's coup (Episode 15). His role as Fisk's enforcer is solidified when he arrests Rigg, a moment foreshadowed by his procedural rigidity earlier.
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.
