Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's demand for proof (Facts, Kent. I must have facts.) in Episode 19 directly leads to Fariah revealing Fedorin’s dossier and Salamander’s dossiers in Episode 20 as the Doctor seeks concrete evidence to validate Kent's theories."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the central investigative thread of the story. The Doctor's skepticism about Kent's 'valuable evidence' destroyed by Salamander forces motivates the subsequent hunt for alternative proof, linking the Doctor's analytical process across episodes.
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.
