Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's intervention in Part 5 (detecting Martian transmission during launch) directly enables his strategic briefing in Part 6 (briefing Radnor on Ice Warrior threat). The urgency from Part 5's discovery carries into Part 6's tactical response."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's initial detection of the Martian transmission (Part 5) creates the foundational knowledge needed for his later briefing (Part 6). This demonstrates continuity in his investigative role and escalates the conflict's stakes.
About Causal Connections
