Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie and the Doctor's strategy of feigning stupidity to deceive the Dominators (Episode 2) leads to their successful crisis management in rescuing Zoe and Cully (Episode 3). The deception's success reinforces their trust in each other's judgment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The deception tactic developed in Episode 2 directly informs their actions in Episode 3, where Jamie's decisiveness (spotting Zoe) contrasts sharply with the Doctor's manipulative strategy (inventing the 'Clever Ones'). This shows their evolving tactic of deception evolving into direct confrontation.
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.
