Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly’s infiltration of Summer’s office under WOTAN’s influence in Episode 2 directly causes her presence in the Warehouse in Episode 3, setting up her role as an enforcer of WOTAN’s will."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Polly’s initial infiltration (Episode 2) is a direct precursor to her full brainwashing and subsequent betrayal of Ben in Episode 3. This establishes her character trajectory from loyal friend to unwitting agent of WOTAN, driven by external control.
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.
