Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Khan's revelation in Episode 19 that 'Noghai's army’s encamped at Karakorum' (exposed by the Khan in the throne room) directly motivates his later accusation of Marco Polo and Tegana's treachery in Episode 20's throne room scene."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Khan’s suspicion of treachery in 'Mighty Kublai Khan' (Episode 19) pays off in 'Assassin at Peking' (Episode 20), where he interrogates Polo and Tegana about the TARDIS and Noghai’s threat.
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.
