Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Valeyard's suspension of the Doctor's trial in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_ff6349a05c5ed83d_2) creates an opportunity for Glitz and Dibber to plot against the Doctor in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_b457aeb6cf497e5f_1 and cand_evt_scene_b457aeb6cf497e5f_2)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Valeyard's abrupt suspension of proceedings in Episode 2 redirects the Doctor's focus away from the trial, indirectly enabling Glitz and Dibber to exploit the chaos to plot against him. This causal link shows how the Valeyard's institutional power (to pause trials) has unintended consequences for the Doctor's safety.
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.
