Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's urgent demand for escape from the Daleks in Episode 11 (cand_evt_scene_a79724e6a8fe19ee_02) leads to a high-stakes emergency takeoff in Episode 12 (cand_evt_scene_f9015c91a83bdd59_01), where Steven spots the open outer door of the SPAR ship."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's insistence on escape in Episode 11 creates the immediate tension that escalates into Episode 12, where the crew's narrow escape and mechanical failures force a violent takeoff. This maintains continuity in the Doctor's role as the strategist and Steven's role as the alert sentinel.
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.
