Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's leadership in investigating the Dodecahedron screens (Meglos Part 4) directly causes her rapid diagnostic approach to the TARDIS malfunction (Full Circle Part 1). Her command structure ('team investigates') evolves into her interrogation of K9 about paradoxical system reports."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain traces Romana's operational continuity. Her investigative role in Meglos Part 4—gathering the team and examining alien technology—directly informs her analytical approach in Full Circle Part 1 when she demands explanations from K9 despite the paradoxical malfunction.
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.
