Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The maggots' survival of the bombing in Episode 25 foreshadows that overwhelming force will fail again. In Episode 3, the Brigadier orders a direct bunker assault, a similar brute-force approach against a fortified position, echoing the earlier failed strategy."

The longer arc this connection carries
