Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa’s imprisonment in a Plasmaton bubble in Episode 24 leads directly to the Doctor tending to her and Tegan being stunned in Episode 25. Her vulnerability and resistance to psychic interference carry over into the sanctum’s hostile environment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The physical and psychic trauma Nyssa undergoes in Episode 24 leaves her weakened and psychically exposed in Episode 25, making her more susceptible to the Xeraphin’s call. This creates a direct causal chain in her path.
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.
