Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa’s survival in the Forbidden Zone and her capture by the Garm in Episode 15 (with the Doctor close behind) leads directly to her awakening cured (though haunted) in Episode 16."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Forbidden Zone’s radiation exposure (linked to the Lazar plague) in Episode 15 is the catalyst for Nyssa’s cure in Episode 16. Her physical state at the end of Episode 15 (ravaged but alive inside the Garm) directly explains her awakening restored in Episode 16.
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.
