Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Sensorite theft of the TARDIS lock in Episode 31 (trapping the travelers) leads to their infiltration of the ship in Episode 32, as Carol reveals: 'The Sensorites are in the ship now.' This escalates the immediate threat and clarifies the Sensorites' strategic advantage."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain ties the physical sabotage of Episode 31 to the mental infiltration in Episode 32. Carol’s revelation serves as a narrative consequence of the earlier theft, forcing the travelers to confront a now-doubled threat: stolen technology + mental domination.
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.
