Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vicki’s detection of the unnatural humming sound in The Web Planet (foreshadowing environmental hostility) directly correlates with the hostile atmosphere and sensory anomalies experienced by the Doctor and Ian in The Zarbi, particularly when the TARDIS is attacked and later disappears."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The eerie hum in The Web Planet establishes the planet’s unnatural properties, which escalates into the active hostility of The Zarbi’s environment (e.g., poisonous atmosphere, Zarbi attacks). This creates a continuous thread of the planet itself being a hostile, sentient force.
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.
