Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The arrival of the Doctor’s team at the Temple of Amdo and their reunion with Polly in Episode 20 immediately leads to the planning of a resistance strategy, culminating in the Doctor’s decision to deploy Sean and Jacko to incite the fish people rebellion in Episode 21."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection is foundational to the plot’s escalation. The events of Episode 20 — the escape, the team’s unity, and the confrontation with Zaroff’s threat — directly cause the formation of the rebellion strategy in Episode 21. It is a key turning point in the resistance narrative.
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.
