Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tavannes's order to assassinate the Sea Beggar (discovered by Steven in E23) directly leads to the failed assassination attempt and Tavannes's scapegoating of the Abbot in E24."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven overhears in E23 that Tavannes has ordered the Sea Beggar's assassination via Bondeax the next day. This set-up directly causes the events in E24, where the assassination is attempted and fails, leading to Tavannes's violent reaction of executing the Abbot as a scapegoat.
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.
