Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The injection of mini-Lowe (Episode 7) indirectly leads to the discovery of the cure via Leela's blood (Episode 8) because the virus's absorption into the Doctor's bloodstream passes immunity to Leela's clone, which the Doctor exploits."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The immunological consequences of the mini-Lowe injection are realized in Episode 8 when the Doctor realizes Leela's blood holds the key to curing the infection, directly stemming from the viral exposure in Episode 7.
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.
