Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The 'emergency visit from a UNIT envoy' in Episode 6 creates tension and secrecy around Whitaker's operations, which is directly exploited in Episode 7 when Yates uncovers the conspiracy. The interruption forces Whitaker to operate covertly, enabling the T-Rex attack as cover for the Doctor's arrival."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The UNIT envoy's arrival (with Yates as intermediary) introduces external oversight that Whitaker must evade. This sets up the clandestine nature of the later conspiracy, where Yates' sabotage plot is revealed in Episode 7. Martin Jarvis, as Whitaker's enforcer, would have played a role in maintaining secrecy.
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.
