Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The TARDIS crew's pursuit into the hostile woodland (Part 1) leads to Adric's injury and near-capture by villagers, which indirectly causes the dynamic where Adric later returns in distress (Part 3) seeking immediate action, contrasting with Nyssa's caution."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Adric's stumbling injury and the crew's flight through the woodland create the context for his later impulsiveness. This establishes a cause-and-effect relationship between the physical peril in Part 1 and Adric's distressed state in Part 3, driving the conflict between caution and impulsiveness.
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.
