Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's arrival in the Cloister Room (Episode 26) directly leads to the crisis in Episode 27 where the Doctor is trapped and miniaturized. Her presence introduces new dynamics to the TARDIS interior, exacerbating its systemic failure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's disoriented arrival in the TARDIS (Episode 26) disrupts the Doctor's already compromised control over the ship's systems. This disruption amplifies the cascading failures culminating in the Doctor's miniaturization in Episode 27, as the TARDIS's instability becomes critical under the combined stress of the Master's interference and the new occupant's presence.
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.
