Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's presentation of actionable intelligence (stolen spares, castle as key site) in Episode 12 directly enables Hart's decision to halt the Sea Devil assault in Episode 13, as Hart leverages this knowledge to expose Walker's militarism."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hart's argument against Walker in Episode 13 ('What do we gain by attacking them blindly?') explicitly builds on the Doctor's earlier revelations. The stolen spares and castle's role as the Master's hub provide Hart the tactical awareness to resist Walker, demonstrating a direct cause-and-effect across episodes.

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.
