How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's discovery of Malus having infiltrated the TARDIS in Episode 6 (event cand_evt_scene_e57d7f499721e56e_1) directly causes his crash-landing on Frontios in Episode 7 and his immediate transition from pilot to medic."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Tegan's continuity: her exposure to the TARDIS being compromised by the Malus (Episode 6) drives her immediate shift into action to help the wounded on Frontios (Episode 7), reinforcing her role as a practical survivor even amid supernatural threats.
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.
