Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Weng-Chiang’s declaration of the Doctor’s fate in Episode 24 (setting up a confrontation) directly causes his interrogation and violence against Jago and Litefoot in Episode 25. His obsession with the Doctor leads him to brutally extract information from Jago and Litefoot."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
His open threat in Episode 24 ('Weng-Chiang declares the Doctor’s fate') sets in motion the chain of events in Episode 25, where he interrogates and physically assaults Jago and Litefoot to find the Doctor. This shows how his vendetta against the Doctor directly escalates the violence in the story.
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.
