Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Terileptil Leader's direct order to the android to hijack the TARDIS establishes the android's role as an enforcer of alien will, setting up its continued existence and programmed behavior in later episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection links the android's initial deployment (in The Visitation) as an instrument of Terileptil control to its reappearance in Earthshock as a generic android enforcer. The android's programming and purpose remain consistent, demonstrating continuity in its character trajectory as a programmable enforcer.
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.
