Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's strategic split of the team to investigate the Medical Centre (which Jamie accompanies him to) directly leads to the Medical Centre events where Jamie is initially absent but later implicated in Samantha’s account of his abduction ('I think they've got Jamie!')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s presence in the Medical Centre during the Doctor’s investigation sets up the later revelation of his abduction. The Doctor’s urgency to save Polly, Ben, and Brian (and by extension Jamie, though not yet known) drives the mission that Jamie is caught up in.

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.
