Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation in Episode 27 that the Moonbase attack, T-Mat sabotage, and seed pods are part of a Martian invasion directly causes the events of Episode 28, where Kelly and Eldred must design and prepare a false homing beam to counter the Martians' homing system."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s synthesis of evidence in Episode 27 provides the strategic framework for Episode 28’s countermeasures. Without the Doctor connecting the threats in Episode 27, Kelly’s false beam and Zoe’s diversion would not be attempted in Episode 28.
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.
