Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Harry's interrogation of Broton in Episode 2 reveals the Skarasen's origins and its centrality to Zygon survival, which is directly leveraged in Episode 4 when the disguised Duke orders its activation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The revelation that the Skarasen is tied to Zygon survival (from Episode 2) is the linchpin of Broton's plan in Episode 4, where its activation is the final step in the invasion. Without this setup, the later escalation is incoherent.
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.
