Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s enlistment of Rodan for TARDIS repairs (Ep 25) logically leads to her hypnotic compliance and operational readiness in Ep 26 (cand_evt_scene_abaaf38575c42b08_2), where she is primed to surrender the Key to K9."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s chain of command—Rodan’s technical assignment → her hypnotic binding → her compliance—is a direct causal thread. Her role as a tool for securing the Key is the consequence of his earlier maneuvering.
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.
