Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Sarah's arrival on Zeta Minor (via TARDIS miscalculation) directly leads to their discovery of O'Hara's desiccated remains in Episode 6, establishing the lethal consequences of their temporal overshoot."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The arrival event (Episode 5) sets the stage for their first encounter with Zeta Minor's deadly effects in Episode 6, creating a causal chain of disaster. Sarah's initial skepticism about the Doctor's navigation skills (Episode 5) is echoed in her later grim observations (Episode 6).
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.
