Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation to Benton about Yates' betrayal in Episode 9 (cand_evt_scene_e8bd9b308678e8fd_2) directly enables Yates' subsequent armed betrayal at UNIT HQ in Episode 10 (cand_evt_scene_fe0bff4113415907_2). Benton's knowledge of Yates' treachery informs his defiance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows how shared information (Doctor's exposure of Yates) propagates through Benton's loyalty network, creating the conditions for Yates' attempted coup. Benton's actions in Ep 10 directly stem from the Doctor's intelligence in Ep 9.
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.
