Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa's revelation in Episode 2 about the space-time element being extracted directly causes her subsequent reliance on stolen technical knowledge (e.g., fusion booster data) in Episode 3. Her pragmatic acceptance of the TARDIS's disablement forces her into a position where she must work with rogue elements (Damon) to survive."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Nyssa's character trajectory from institutional disillusionment to active subversion of Gallifreyan authority. Her willingness to collaborate with Damon (a non-approved rogue) in Episode 3 stems directly from her inability to secure Gallifreyan cooperation in Episode 2.
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.
