Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The events of Episode 36 (Roman ambush) logically lead to the events of Episode 37 (escape, temporal displacement, and encounters with German/American soldiers). The Roman phalanx is the inciting incident that sets the group on their journey through history."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Without the Roman phalanx's ambush, the group would not be forced into the ambulance or onto the path of temporal displacement. The phalanx is the narrative catalyst that ensures continuity between the two episodes.
