Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The announcement of the 'Outsider' (which refers to the TARDIS crew) in the Hall of Fire during Episode 15 directly leads to Malkon and Turlough discovering their shared marks when they meet in Episode 16, as their investigation of this new presence connects their destinies."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The external threat (the Outsider) becomes the catalyst that brings together two characters with hidden connections (shared Misos Triangle marks), revealing the deeper conspiracy around Logar and Sarn's fate.
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.
