Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Axons' energy-draining and re-personalization of the Doctor and Jo in Part 3 (E13) creates a direct psychological and physical vulnerability that Axos exploits in Part 4 (E14), where Jo's disorientation and mental assault are shown to be consequences of the earlier trauma."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection directly carries the conflict arc forward by showing the lingering effects of Axos' assault. The Doctor's intervention (breaking Jo's mental grip) in E14 is a direct response to the captivity and energy-draining from E13, demonstrating escalation in the conflict's psychological toll.
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.
