Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's desperate warning to Barbara ('Get back!') in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_c9157eeee327cdf5_02), revealing the Daleks' shift to prisoner capture, directly sets up the perilous environment in Episode 7 where Robomen patrols and interrogation threats escalate in the mining area."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's commanding presence and tactical decision-making in Episode 6 (causing the Daleks to abandon extermination) carries through into Episode 7, where his resourcefulness in defying Roboman orders (cand_evt_scene_89c34989c7cf9ea8_02) and later securing contact with Ashton (cand_evt_scene_fb7909961f0a73bc_01) demonstrates continuity of his leadership under pressure.
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.
