How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's overheard conversation in Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_526fc4322ed9d34e_02) about the Sea Beggar's assassination leads directly to the tension in Episode 24 (cand_evt_scene_b319a9ce7fa77bfd_03), where Tavannes discovers the danger of Steven's exposure and the Abbot's true identity."
