Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's discovery of Adric in a death-like state (E15) foreshadows and directly enables the later event where Romana is prepared for sacrifice and Adric attempts to intervene (E16). Adric's vulnerability in E15 underscores his later susceptibility to the vampires' temptations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the thread of Adric's peril and the vampires' psychological manipulation across episodes. The discovery of Adric's state in E15 raises the stakes for his character arc in E16, where he grapples with temptation and loyalty.
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.
