Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie's possession of the glowing spheres in E6 directly leads to Khrisong's fatal curiosity in E7. The Doctor's warning not to touch the spheres (E7) is a direct consequence of Jamie's earlier retrieval (E6), which brought the spheres into the monastery's proximity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The spheres' retrieval in E6 is the proximate cause of their presence in E7. The Doctor's foreknowledge of their danger (implied by Jamie's retrieval) creates a causal chain leading to Khrisong's fatal interaction with the spheres in E7.
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.
