Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation in Episode 7 about the miniscope's Time Lord ban directly causes the miniscope's systems to fail in Episode 8, leading to the crew's collapse and Claire's physical breakdown."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's explanation of the miniscope's forbidden nature (Episode 7) sets up the system's malfunction in Episode 8. The failure manifests as heat exhaustion, tying the narrative consequence to Daly's collapsing authority as second-in-command.
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.
