Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Padmasambhava's decision to expel the Doctor in Episode 6 because of his potential interference with the Great Plan causes Padmasambhava's later rejection of the Doctor's help in Episode 7."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Padmasambhava's belief that the Doctor could interfere with the plan leads directly to the entity's dismissal of the idea to enlist the Doctor's help in countering the Yeti threat in Episode 7. This creates a direct causal chain from Episode 6 to Episode 7.
