Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The procedural chaos of Sean's abrupt murder arrest in E4 (where his solicitor is caught off-guard) directly causes the solicitor's reactive posture in E5, where he is forced to defend a self-contradictory client whose confessions are eroding his legal standing."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The solicitor's professional composure in E4 (even under shock) sets up his strained silence in E5, where he must internalize the implosion of his client's alibi and face the legal consequences of Sean's admissions.
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.
