Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The hidden tunnel discovery in Episode 10 (where Ganatus falls into a cavern leading to a new passage) directly enables Ian's Tunnel discovery in Episode 11, where he finds a light source revealing another passage after the rockfall."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The mechanical process of tunnel exploration in Episode 10 (Barbara and Ganatus discovering a hidden drop) directly causes the light-seeing moment in Episode 11 (Ian finding a passage after rockfall) through a shared thematic of navigating Skaro's treacherous geology.
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.
