Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the core conflict of Milo Clancey's struggle against Caven's machinations. The earlier event (sabotage plan) directly enables the later event (actual sabotage), escalating the peril for Milo and deepening the antagonist's ruthlessness.
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.
