Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a classic causal chain: Tor's tactical insight in Episode 27 (the spaceship) drives the rebels' immediate strategy to intercept unfamiliar figures in the museum, which in turn creates the opportunity for Dako to encounter Barbara in Episode 28. The connection stitches the rebels' resource-gathering mission across episodes.

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.
