Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 44, the Time Lords seize control of the TARDIS remotely to force the Doctor to return for trial. In Episode 15, the Time Lords again remotely activate the TARDIS, this time forcing the Doctor to leave Earth (as he tries to take Jo with him), a direct continuation of their power over his movements."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows the Time Lords' consistent authority over the Doctor's freedom. The remote seizure in Episode 44 leads to his trial and exile; in Episode 15, their remote activation of the TARDIS (as implied when Jo cannot leave) demonstrates that even in exile, they control his ability to travel, enforcing the sentence from the earlier episode.
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.
