Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vicki’s defiance of Koquillion’s lies in E10 (telling Bennett that Koquillion hasn’t killed the others) directly results in her loyalty to Bennett’s narrative in E11, causing her to defend him against Barbara’s skepticism."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Vicki’s rebelliousness in E10 (against Koquillion’s narrative) leads to her blind loyalty to Bennett in E11. This action drives the central conflict in E11, where Vicki’s priorities clash with Barbara’s and the Doctor’s attempts to uncover the truth.
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.
