Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deduction of 'abnormally large rat hairs' and 'chisel-like incisors' on Buller's corpse (E21), linking it to Weng-Chiang's mythology, directly leads to Litefoot's forensic findings in the mortuary (E22), which tie the victims' wounds to a 'midget attacker'—narrowing the suspects to Chang or his proxy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection ties the supernatural hints (mythological mutations) to the forensic realities of the case, guiding the Doctor's subsequent actions (e.g., pursuing the theatre). It bridges the gap between the Doctor's speculative deductions and the tangible evidence needed to solve the mystery.
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.
