Narrative Connection

Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Marshal's overruling of Jaeger's rocket strike in Episode 18 leads directly to Jaeger exposing the Marshal's failure in Episode 19, revealing the disastrous consequences of the rockets."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Marshal's insistence on launching the rockets despite Jaeger's objections results in catastrophic failure, which Jaeger then uses to undermine the Marshal's authority in the face of the Marshal's attempt to execute prisoners.
