Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kelner's seizure of control in E22 (leading to the Doctor's clandestine escape) forces Andred into a position where he must assert his own authority. His interrogation tactics in E23 are a direct response to the power vacuum created by the Doctor's manipulation and Kelner's opportunism."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Kelner's mid-episode coup (E22) destabilizes the chain of command, compelling Andred to take direct action. This sets up his later role as a de facto interrogator and would-be assassin, as he seeks to reassert control over a discredited regime.
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.
