Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's misreading of K9's ion drive signal in Part 1 leads directly to the TARDIS being pulled into the Charybdis nebula. This forces the Argo (a Minyan vessel) to crash-land on a liquid planet in Part 2."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The navigational error from Episode 17's intra-episode connection (misled by K9) cascades into the survival crisis in Episode 18, creating a direct cause-and-effect chain across episodes.
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.
