Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Sensorites' theft of the TARDIS lock (cand_evt_scene_fd8315689cc8acc5_04) creates a situation where the travelers cannot flee, forcing them into confrontation. This tension directly leads to Barbara's urgent demands to lock the doors (cand_evt_scene_fcc5d2a5df3e6182_01), raising the stakes and demonstrating the escalation of the Sensorite threat across episodes.
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.
