Institutional takeover · TAKE-11
Resistance movement forms inside the captured institution
The ensemble stops arguing about whether the coup is real and organizes around restoration.
What this relationship type claims
mirrors the plot of. An ordered sequence of beats corresponds across two works. Distinct from subplot-mirror, which is confined to a secondary strand.
Read from the other side, the same record says is mirrored by. There is one record here, not two. Chronology rule for this type: Source must predate target. Violation is a hard validation error.
Chronology
| Side | Work | Where | Year |

The earlier side
Beth sings in protest; Dave describes an anti-Johnny movement; Joe prepares to fight Johnny.
The research describes this side rather than quoting it, so no exact script anchor is attached. The episode link above still resolves.
The later side
The expelled group infiltrates Greendale, works with the janitors and AC school, and mounts a Dean-rescue operation.
Described rather than quoted in the source research.
What changes on the way
Workplace protest becomes caper-style insurgency.
The changed element is part of the evidence rather than noise. A function can move to a different character, a power relation can reverse, several sources can combine, and the same mechanism can produce a different result.
