Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Commandant’s airport-wide lockdown ordered in response to the Doctor’s covert mission (cand_evt_scene_b311799914a5ed01_01) leads to his escalation via communications control in Episode 36 (cand_evt_scene_a10dbc62a922a552_02), where he seizes the PA system and diverts flights to regain control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s demand to 'preserve the mission’ by avoiding arrests creates the conditions for the Commandant’s paranoid lockdown and control of all communications in Episode 36. Reynolds’ presence as a steadying force amplifies this arc of escalating authority under Duende.
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.
