Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Green's order to Vosper to erase evidence (clean the cell) in Episode 6 is the cause of Vosper's submissive compliance and knowledge of prison procedures, which continues into Episode 7 when Vosper assists Mailer in maintaining control over the prison despite his earlier reluctance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Vosper's compliance with Green's order to clean the cell demonstrates his early role as an enforcer for the prison authority. This behavior evolves into his later role as a 'ruthless enforcer' for the Master during the uprising, showing continuity in his passive compliance and willingness to follow orders that escalate across episodes from bureaucratic obedience to violent coercion.
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.
