Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's near-fatal cliff-edge fall in Episode 10 directly leads to her being held captive by the Cailleach in Episode 11. The physical peril and subsequent rescue sequence establishes her vulnerability and sets up her kidnapping as a critical escalation of stakes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Romana's peril in Episode 10 is immediately followed by her abduction in Episode 11 (via hyperspace trapping). The Doctor's frantic search in Episode 10 ('Doctor and Emilia search for Romana') is directly answered by the crisis of her captivity in Episode 11 ('Doctor reveals Romana trapped in hyperspace'), creating a causal chain of peril and response. This thread carries Romana's character trajectory from physical danger to existential threat, testing her analytical fortitude and trust in the Doctor's rescue skills.
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.
