Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes a direct cause-and-effect chain where the Doctor's misnavigation (Episode 37) leads to the crew's capture by revolutionary forces, which in turn results in Barbara and Susan being sentenced to execution in Episode 38. Barbara's defiance in the face of imminent execution in 'Guests of Madame Guillotine' is a direct consequence of her forced separation from the Doctor and Ian in 'A Land of Fear'.
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.
