Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Jamie's evasion of UNIT (seen in Ep 12) is directly caused by the Doctor's instinct for self-preservation, honed earlier in Ep 11 when he evades the missile attack and IE agents. Their immediate flight without conventional transportation mirrors their earlier desperate actions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the character trajectory of the Doctor's instinctive survival tactics and resourcefulness across episodes. His ability to evade immediate threats persists, transitioning from physical dangers (missiles, IE security) to institutional ones (UNIT), reinforcing his renegade identity.
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.
