Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Catherine's violent suppression of Brett in E3 creates a pattern where institutional violence (police brutality) is normalized, which indirectly contributes to the environment where Daryl's arrest is mishandled in E4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
While not directly causative, the normalization of violence seen when Catherine assaults Brett creates a cultural context where Daryl's arrest is handled with similar brutality (curling up terrified vs. physical restraint). Both show police power used disproportionately.
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.
