Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Sensorites stealing the TARDIS lock in Episode 31 (cand_evt_scene_fd8315689cc8acc5_04) directly leads to the Sensorites receiving attack authorization in Episode 32 (cand_evt_scene_cfb3e85e8172e171_01), as their elder's interest is piqued by the Doctor's defiance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theft of the TARDIS lock (an act of sabotage) escalates the Sensorites' aggression, leading to a critical escalation directive from their elder. This raises the physical threat level and forces the Doctor's group to confront the Sensorites' true intentions.
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.
