Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The urgent summons to the mortuary in Episode 22 (via Sergeant Kyle) initiates the investigation into Buller’s disappearance and the Palace Theatre link, which directly leads to the Doctor and Litefoot’s perilous river escape beneath Tower Bridge in Episode 23 as they pursue Weng-Chiang’s lair."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection demonstrates the direct investigative chain that spans episodes: the initial clue about the Theatre provides the geographic locus for the climax. The Theatre cellar and underground lab are the setting for the final confrontation, tied back to the early forensic lead.
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.
