Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's refusal to abandon the Doctor in Episode 9 (forcing Range to follow) indirectly leads to her presence in Episode 10 where she warns the group about the excavating machine's malfunction, a critical development in their strategy to disrupt the Gravis's plan."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's loyalty and penchant for action in Episode 9 compel her to stay with the Doctor, which places her in the tunnels and tunnels-adjacent areas in Episode 10 where she spots the excavating machine's failure. This warning escalates the urgency and sets the stage for the Doctor's decisive actions.
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.
