Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s urgent warning to Gilmore in Episode 2 (about the Dalek Task Force and orbital surveillance) is directly causally linked to Gilmore’s acceptance of the Doctor’s plan to fortify the school in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_cdf3862eccdb85be_1)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain reveals Mike’s role as the pragmatic executor of the Doctor’s orders across episode boundaries. In Episode 2, Mike evacuates the corridor and summons Gilmore (cand_evt_scene_595d8aa2dbc1f948_2); in Episode 3, he deploys forces to fortify the school (cand_evt_scene_cdf3862eccdb85be_1). His coordination between exposition and execution links Doctor’s macro-strategy to human tactical action.
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.
