Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jenny's emotional breakdown in the prison visitation (S01E05) directly motivates her desperate attempt to secure financial stability for her family by pleading with Nevison Gallagher in his office (S01E06). Her fear of further escalation (e.g., harassment, inability to visit) and sense of isolation ('I think I’m going to stay there now... At their house') propels her to take drastic action in Episode 6."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection forms a direct causal chain where Jenny's vulnerability and fear in Episode 5 drive her confrontational (and manipulative) behavior in Episode 6. It establishes the financial desperation as a persistent motivator across episodes, showing her evolving from passive victim to active, if morally dubious, negotiator.
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.
