Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ravon's revelation in Episode 13 that Sarah has been imprisoned in the Thal dome directly causes Sarah's desperate situation in Episode 14, where her failed escape and subsequent capture by Mutos leads directly to the loss of the Time Ring—their only path home."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain begins with Ravon's report (Episode 13), which sets the Doctor's infiltration plan in motion, leading to Sarah's capture and the Time Ring's loss (Episode 14). It operationalizes the earlier rescue mission into a survival crisis, showing how character actions ripple 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.
