How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Isobel and Zoe's capture by IE security in Episode 12 (cand_evt_scene_f28a0eb39e0fffbe_01) directly leads to Vaughn's concealment of their disappearance in Episode 13 (cand_evt_scene_4fabc665ac431808_02)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The capture of Zoe and Isobel in Episode 12 creates the motivation for Jamie's confrontation with Packer in Episode 13, as well as Vaughn's calculated deception. This connection reinforces the escalation of the stakes and the manipulation of characters across episodes.
