Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's amnesia deflection in Episode 6's trial (Mindwarp Part 2) directly leads to the Valeyard's exploitation of his memory gaps in Episode 7's trial (Mindwarp Part 3). The Inquisitor's procedural interventions from Episode 6 appear again, creating a consistent institutional framework."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's earlier claim of amnesia (Episode 6) provides direct ammunition for the Valeyard to weaponize memory gaps in Episode 7. The Inquisitor's procedural rigor in Episode 6 sets the tone for her measured but detached handling of the trial in Episode 7, making her a constant across episodes despite escalating conflict.
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.
