Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jo’s hallucination and distress in Axos (Part 2) directly leads to the Axons' brutal assault on the Doctor and Jo in Part 3, as the Axons target them for capture after realizing the Doctor's importance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jo’s insistence that she heard Bill Filer’s voice (despite dismissal as hallucination) foreshadows the Axons' later replication of Filer and their ability to manipulate human biology. This escalates the threat the Doctor faces, culminating in the Axons' direct attack on him and Jo.
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.
