Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Weng-Chiang's burning of his mansion (Part 5), triggered by the missing key, foreshadows his frantic acceleration of the zigma experiment in the House of the Dragon (Part 6), culminating in his desperate need to stabilize his decaying body."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The loss of the time cabinet key in Part 5 forces Greel to abandon his lair and escalate his plans, directly causing his accelerated, reckless attempts to activate the zigma device in Part 6. This shows how minor setbacks (the missing key) trigger catastrophic escalations in Greel's behavior.
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.
