Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s escape via deception in Episode 13’s reception hall ('Nero exposes the Doctor’s deception') triggers Nero’s volatile rage seen in Episode 14’s baths ('Doctor disarms Nero’s rage and exploits his paranoia'), where the Doctor seizes on Nero’s existing paranoia to manipulate him."

The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link ties the Doctor’s momentary defiance of Nero’s authority (Episode 13) to Nero’s escalating volatility (Episode 14), driving the Doctor’s adaptive manipulations to survive Nero’s court.
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.
