Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Radnor's realization in Episode 23 that rockets are the only solution to the T-Mat crisis directly leads to his order in Episode 24 to launch the experimental rocket ZA685, despite Eldred's objections."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Radnor's 'There is just one man, one man alone who can help us now' (referring to the Doctor) in Episode 23 sets up his desperate reliance on rocket technology in Episode 24, where he overrides Eldred to launch the rocket.
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.
