Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela's violent escape attempt and wounding (Act 3 of Episode 15) directly leads to her capture and subsequent interrogation, which sets up her rescue in the Condensation Chamber (Act 1 of Episode 16)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escape attempt’s failure (with Leela wounded) triggers her capture and interrogation. This creates the causal chain that leads to the Doctor’s rescue mission in the next episode, binding their narratives tightly.
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.
