Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe's capture in No Man's Land (ep. 35) directly leads to their sham court-martial and subsequent separation, which then causes Captain Ransom to mobilize a frantic search in ep. 36 to recapture them."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The initial conflict of their capture and trial in Part 1 escalates into a manhunt in Part 2, with Ransom's actions directly stemming from the events of the first episode. This drives the central tension forward.
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.
