Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Skagra's immediate tracking of the Doctor in Episode 22 (via Wilkins) sets up the later absurdity of the 'stolen room' investigation in Episode 26, where authority figures (Constable) scramble to explain supernatural occurrences."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Skagra's pursuit of the Doctor creates a chain of events where supernatural interference (the TARDIS's time-manipulation) leads to mundane but baffling consequences (vanishing rooms) witnessed by figures like the Constable. This escalates the theme of institutional skepticism clashing with reality.
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.
