Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bell's ability to relay critical updates (like radar contact loss in Episode 11) enables the Brigadier's quick response to the Doctor's disappearance in Episode 22. His role as a communicator bridges the two episodes' crises."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Without Bell's established role as a reliable conduit of information in Episode 11, the Brigadier's swift response to the crisis in Episode 22 would be less grounded. Bell's continuity is a narrative device that ties the two episodes together.
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.
