Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana’s discovery of the hidden bricked-up chamber in the cellar (which contained six genuine Mona Lisas, the focal point of Scarlioni’s plan) directly enables Scarlioni’s confrontation with the Doctor and Romana in the drawing room, where he reveals he has learned 'the secret of time travel' — knowledge initially sought from Romana’s bracelet theft."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection stitches together the investigative arc of Episode 6 (discovering the time experiment and Mona Lisa heist) with the escalation of the antagonist’s knowledge in Episode 7. The Doctor and Romana’s threat level rises because the enemy now knows too much — directly caused by their earlier investigative success.
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.
