Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vicki's self-identification as someone 'from the future' during her emergence from the TARDIS in Episode 7 directly leads to her being treated as a potential spy in Priam's palace in Episode 8. Her claim to future origins becomes the crux of Cassandra's accusations against her."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries forward Vicki's characterization as an outsider who must constantly defend her identity and origins. It also escalates the threat level—from doubting Vicki to accusing her of being a Greek spy, which motivates her survival tactics in the dungeon.
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.
