Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benton’s failed radio calls and growing panic in Episode 24 over lack of communication with the Doctor and UNIT HQ lead directly to his role in deploying extreme military force (bazooka) in Episode 25 when faced with an intractable threat (Bok)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The inability to coordinate in Episode 24 sets up the desperate, independent actions taken by Benton in Episode 25, where conventional tactics fail and escalation to heavy weapons becomes necessary. This reflects the logical progression of a soldier under pressure with diminished leadership oversight.
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.
