Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's discovery of the android's time-manipulating technology (soliton gas) in E14 directly leads to the villagers' imprisonment in E15, as Terileptil forces use this tech to control the Headman and villagers."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The uncovering of the android's weaponized soliton gas in Episode 14's wine cellar is the technological foundation for the Terileptils' mind-control operations in Episode 15. The android's initial attack scene establishes the method Terileptils later use to dominate local populations, making this a clear causal link where earlier discovery enables later consequences.
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.
