Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Phil Crabtree's interrogation pressure on Nevison Gallagher and Helen in Episode 4 to consider Kevin Weatherill a suspect directly leads to Phil's targeting of Kevin in Episode 5, where meticulous questioning reveals Kevin's involvement and leads to his arrest."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Phil’s staged interrogation in Episode 4 (with Nevison and Helen) creates the foundation for Kevin Weatherill's entrapment in Episode 5. By planting the seed of suspicion, Phil sets the trap that ensnares Kevin through his later official interrogation (e.g., using the false pretenses of CID to disarm and convict Kevin).

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.
