Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor reactivating the TARDIS to rescue Romana (Episode 18) directly leads to his companions' expectation of rescue during the corridor puzzle (Episode 19). Their distracted debates ('logic', 'despair') are framed by the unresolved tension of the Doctor's delayed arrival."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The TARDIS's damaged systems (Episode 18) haunt the companions' perception of time and safety in Episode 19 (#timepressureeecho). The Doctor's delayed intervention shifts Romana from passive victim (e.g., imprisonment) to active investigator.
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.
