Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' materialization near the TARDIS in Episode 18 (Golden Death) sets up the TARDIS's eventual failure and unintended return to Kembel in Episode 20 (The Abandoned Planet). The Doctor's dismissal of the Dalek threat in Episode 18 foreshadows the dire consequences of ignoring it."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The immediate Dalek threat in Episode 18 directly causes the TARDIS's malfunction and accidental return to Kembel in Episode 20, driving the plot forward and forcing the characters into a desperate situation.
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.
