Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 1, the Doctor commandeers a van and mobilizes Rachel Jensen, Ace, and Mike Yates to confront the Daleks at Totters Lane (Event 22a2ef538051de64_1). In Episode 2, realizing the scale of the threat, he sends Ace away for her safety as part of a desperate evacuation plan (Event 595d8aa2dbc1f948_3). This shows the direct consequences of his earlier actions.
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.
