Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Duggan’s physical assault on Kerensky in Episode 6 (ending the temporal experiment with a blow) directly informs his readiness to use force in high-stakes situations in Episode 7, such as smashing glass to infiltrate the brasserie or reacting violently when alarms are triggered during the Louvre theft investigation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection identifies a critical shift in Duggan’s behavior across episodes: his willingness to resort to violence as a first or immediate response. The physical climax of his frustration in Episode 6 (hitting Kerensky) carries forward as a behavioral pattern into Episode 7, where he again acts preemptively and destructively—smashing a glass pane to enter the brasserie and later leaping through a window to escape in the Louvre.
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.
