Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Marco's testing of Ian's loyalty and Tegana's manipulation (Episode 19) directly leads to Tegana's ability to frame Ian and Ping-Cho for theft and manipulate Ling-Tau in Episode 20."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegana's deep suspicion of Ian and his political leverage (gained in Episode 19) allow him to fabricate accusations and influence Ling-Tau, leading to the Doctor's loss of the TARDIS and Ian's imprisonment. The seeds of Tegana's treachery are planted in Episode 19.

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.
