Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Borusa's initial decision to prosecute the Doctor swiftly and condemn him without due process in Episode 10 sets up his later pattern of secrecy and manipulation. His instruction to raise the transduction barriers in secret (Episode 12) is a direct escalation of this early authoritarian tendency."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Borusa's actions in Episode 10 show his willingness to bypass judicial norms for political control. This later manifests as overt deception, where he masks his true intentions under the guise of urgency, further isolating Gallifrey and the Doctor.
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.
