Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The warrant and physical removal of the Doctor (via armed seizure in the TARDIS) creates a fugitive status that necessitates a subsequent manhunt. Maxil, the lead in the seizure, becomes the instrument of that hunt in Part 3, linking the two episodes through his persistent institutional role.
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.
