Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's violent seizure from Reynart’s cell in Episode 14 triggers her forced delivery to Lamia’s laboratory in Episode 15. This escalates her role from prisoner to bargaining chip."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The assault on Romana's autonomy in Episode 14 (her removal from the cell) leads directly to her instrumentalization by Grendel in Episode 15 (forcing her into Lamia’s lab). This establishes Grendel’s pattern of using Romana as a pawn.
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.
