Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Commandant's decision to classify the Doctor and Jamie as 'illegal entrants' in Episode 32 sets up the Commandant's reliance on Reynolds' forces to mobilize a search for the Chameleon plane in Episode 35. This creates a direct causal link between the initial conflict and the broader response."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Commandant's order to detain the Doctor and Jamie for being 'illegal entrants' in Episode 32 is the same authority figure who, in Episode 35, calls upon Reynolds' forces to search for the Chameleon plane. This shows how the initial incident disrupts the airport's normal operations and contributes to the escalating crisis.
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.
