Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Radnor's urgent decision in Episode 24 to launch the experimental rocket ZA685 (despite Eldred's warnings) directly leads to the Doctor, Zoe, and Jamie's perilous situation in Episode 25: drifting toward the sun with only days of food and water left."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This establishes a direct causal chain where human desperation (Radnor's override) creates immediate danger for the crew, forcing them into an emergency landing on the Moon. Without Radnor's decision, the team would not be stranded in Episode 25.
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.
