Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jo's seizure of the time machine in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_a60088ff39db3c1c_1) directly results in the rebels' inability to locate Jo later, contributing to the Doctor's desperate search for her in Episode 3. Her departure also forces the rebels to focus solely on their temporal mission, leaving the Doctor vulnerable."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jo's action in Episode 2 creates a critical gap in the rebels' understanding of the temporal field, leading Anat and Boaz to prioritize their mission over rescuing Jo or the Doctor. This sets up the Doctor's later abandonment by the rebels (cand_evt_scene_5276aa794ece5330_02) and his solo struggle in the Dalek-ruled future.
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.
