Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zoe’s forced interrogation and revelation of space-time travel secrets (Episode 39) directly seeds her later emotional plea to rescue Jamie (Episode 40). The War Chief’s interrogation exposes Zoe’s knowledge of the TARDIS, which becomes a motivational catalyst for her urgent desire to save Jamie in the next episode."

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.
