Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The War Lord's execution of the War Chief (Part 9) directly escalates the Doctor's testimony against the War Lord's crimes (Part 10), as the War Chief's recorded treachery becomes evidence in the trial."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Security Chief's pre-recorded evidence of the War Chief's treachery (implied in Part 9) is likely the recording referenced by the War Lord in Part 10 as proof of the War Chief's betrayal. This evidence directly ties into the Doctor's testimony, as he is the central figure in the War Chief's plans, reinforcing the causal chain from Part 9's internal betrayal to Part 10's formal trial.
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.
