Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lethbridge-Stewart's exclusion of suspicious parties (e.g., Chorley) and his distrust of the Doctor's warnings about sabotage foreshadow Robson's later rejection of Harris's concerns about pipeline pressure drops, which are similarly framed as 'high-flown theories.'"

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's accusation that someone in the Goodge Street ops room is controlling the Yetis (echoing Robson's later accusation about the Doctor) creates a causal chain where paranoia about invisible enemies drives reactive, authoritarian leadership. Robson's dismissal of Harris's data follows the same logic as Lethbridge-Stewart's dismissal of the Doctor.
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.
