Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The meeting of the Third Doctor and Jo with Doctor Tyler in Episode 2 directly leads to them being brought before Omega in Episode 3, as Tyler's alternate identity and the antimatter anomalies set the stage for Omega's unveiling."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the narrative thread of fractured identity and displacement, where the Third Doctor's encounter with his alternate self (Tyler) in Episode 2 foreshadows the broader confrontation with Omega in Episode 3. It establishes the theme of the Doctor confronting reflections of himself (both literal and ideological) across time and space.
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.
