Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarah Jane's rescues of Faraday and Harry in Episode 16 (risking Styggron's wrath) showcase her bravery under pressure, which directly mirrors her stealthy infiltration of Solon's lab in Episode 17. Both moments reinforce her capability to act decisively in crises."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's survival depends on Sarah's actions in both episodes: first by reuniting with him, then by reaching out to stop Solon. Her arc as a resourceful companion is fully established by Episode 16 and continues in Episode 17.
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.
