Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven’s successful escape from the police station (via disguise) in Episode 16 enables the group’s landing on Tigus, where they are immediately pursued by the Monk and Daleks in Episode 17."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The TARDIS’s escape from Earth (facilitated by Steven’s disguise) is directly linked to their landing on Tigus, where the Monk sabotages the ship. This shows how the earlier event (Steven’s resourcefulness under pressure) has long-term consequences, linking the two episodes causally.
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.
