Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's growing sense of 'universal peril' from Lang's delirious clues in Episode 24 directly causes his later confirmation of Jaconda's devastation in Episode 25, where he identifies the gastropod apocalypse."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This link connects the Doctor's recognition of a cosmic threat (Episode 24) to its concrete discovery (Episode 25), driving the narrative forward. It also ties Lang's role to the larger plot, as his delirious mutterings about 'abducted children' become validated by the broader Jacondan crisis.
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.
