Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's lingering to scrutinize the ship (Part 2) later enables his separate investigation with Bigon in Part 3. His absence during the throne room confrontation with Nyssa and Adric is a direct result of this initial separation decision."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection drives the narrative split between the Doctor/Bigon team and the companions, creating parallel storylines that escalate tension and enable different rescue/revelation arcs. Adric's later interrogation by Monarch is a consequence of this split.
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.
