Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa's confrontation with the High Council in Episode 2 about the traitor's existence directly informs the Castellan's suspicion of a conspiracy in Episode 3, particularly his questioning of the Doctor's 'termination' and belief in a traitor within the Time Lord ranks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Nyssa's challenge in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_bc63267fe3b10d9b_1) that the Doctor's survival is only possible with inside help seeds the suspicion that later leads the Castellan to question the termination of the Doctor in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_5f9ecbda104b2375_1). This thread spans the episode boundary, establishing the Castellan's evolving distrust and procedural investigation.
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.
