How to add small lines to make Illustrator drawing all one path?

Hello,

I have attached a one minute video explaining my issue. How do I connect those two dots on the path?

a path can not have a point that splints into two different paths, as i know.

points can join two paths not three.

if you want to set a point exactly on top of another one you should deselect the drawn path and place a point on top of another point (smart guides would help).

there is a way to make what you are drawing a single element:

after you finish, convert all strokes to filled shapes and unit them, also you may have to make it a compound path for cleaner work.

This is really helpful. Thanks to your comment I learned about the Object -> Flatten Transparency tool. 

Much to learn about anchor points still. Thanks for your help.

Also - what do you mean by "unit them"?

sorrrry, i ate the "e" from "unite", one of many commands you can find in pathfinder panel

window -> pathfinder, or ctrl+shift+F9.
