Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's capture and interrogation of the Doctor and Jamie in Ep 12 directly causes Vaughn's strategy to escalate his deceptions in Ep 13 — especially since Vaughn learns the Doctor is a known threat from 'Planet 14' during their capture."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Vaughn’s hidden surveillance and subsequent order to eliminate the Doctor (revealed in Ep 12’s cand_evt_scene_c143ec7a1c973096_01) directly motivates his deceptive behavior toward the Doctor and Jamie in Ep 13. Vaughn’s decision to spare them temporarily is based on extracting secrets, which is established in Ep 12.
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.
