Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The attack on the Doctor in Episode 35 establishes that there are hostile forces within the Sensorite city. This sets the stage for the deliberate sabotage of the Doctor and Ian's equipment in Episode 36, illustrating the escalation of threats against them. The shredded jacket serves as a physical proof of a prior attack, which then echoes in the sabotaged weapons and maps, showing a continuity of peril for the Doctor.

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.
