Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor convinces Tegan to board the Master's TARDIS to reach Earth. This decision places them at the Pharos Project, where security forces later chase them after the Doctor's collapse and regeneration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier event establishes the location and circumstances—the group's presence at the Pharos site—that directly enable the pursuit and Tegan's later rescue efforts. Without that agreement, the entire sequence of Episode 1 at Pharos wouldn't occur.
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.
