Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Klieg’s sabotage of the tomb controls (starting the defrost sequence) in Episode 2 is the direct cause of the Cybermen’s reanimation, which the Cyber Controller explains in Episode 3 was part of a long-term plan to capture superior minds."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Without Klieg initiating the defrost, the Cybermen would not have awakened. The Doctor’s later confrontation with the Cyber Controller hinges on this very point: the Cybermen needed the tomb to remain undiscovered until the right intellect arrived—and Klieg provided the catalyst.
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.
