Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's risky salvage plan (Ep 11) involving the transmat beam reflection directly enables his later resolution of the Brigadier paradox (Ep 12) by using the TARDIS transmat capsule."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's improvisational plan in Ep 11 establishes the transmat technology and temporal mechanics that become central to the paradox resolution in Ep 12. Turlough's later involvement in enforcing the separation of the Brigadiers continues his role from the failed plan.
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.
