Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the primary cause for the crisis in Part 6. Caven's imprisoning of the Doctor in Part 5 (via the study lock and subsequent lockdown) sets in motion the chain reaction in Part 6 where Milo, Dom, and the Doctor are stranded due to remote hijacking. The imprisonment in Part 5 removes all agency from the Doctor's group, making them vulnerable to external sabotage.
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.
