Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s discovery of Will Chandler in the church (Episode 5) leads directly to Turlough and Verney’s decision to investigate the crypt (where the Doctor and Tegan suspect the Malus resides), as they seek the Doctor and confront the source of the psychic projections."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain ties the Doctor’s investigative thread (Will Chandler in Episode 5) to Turlough’s proactive and risky pursuit of the Doctor in Episode 6. It shows how knowledge and investigations from one episode propel actions in the next, even across different characters.
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.
