Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vira's prioritization of revivification protocol despite alien peril (cand_evt_scene_0f71b1d416b1ece8_2) leads to the realization that Noah's actions were aligned with defeating the swarm (cand_evt_scene_6f358f687efc3158_3), enabling the Doctor to commit to a perilous Earth mission."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier tension between safety protocols and survival strategy in Episode 7 creates the context for understanding Noah's sacrifice and final revelation in Episode 8. This causal chain helps resolve the earlier conflict.
