Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The critical coolant losses and system failures in the TARDIS during the escape from Event One create damage that requires later repair, as seen when the Doctor and Nyssa fix a minor console component to restore audio link-up."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The TARDIS's structural integrity was compromised in Episode 1902, and the routine repair in Episode 2001 directly addresses residual damage from that crisis, showing the ongoing consequences of the earlier failure.
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.
