Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation of the volcanic danger and the engineered heart of the planet (Episode 16) directly motivates his subsequent actions in Episode 17, where he dismantles Kamelion's control to prevent the Master from exploiting the planet's numismaton gas."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escalation of the volcanic threat from Episode 16's warning to a critical, imminent peril in Episode 17 drives the Doctor's urgent and strategic interventions. This connection carries forward the threat and the Doctor's role as the rational counter to the cult's blind faith.
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.
