Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough's identification of the TARDIS's course as 1984 London (Episode 11) directly leads to his presence aboard the Dalek battle cruiser (Episode 12), where he discovers the victims of Dalek neurotoxin."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Turlough's technical awareness of the TARDIS's distress and course in Episode 11 establishes his role as someone who notices and acts on environmental anomalies. In Episode 12, his curiosity while aboard the Dalek ship—where he breaches a sealed chamber—mirrors his earlier attentiveness to the TARDIS's instability, reinforcing his pattern of exploring the unknown despite danger.
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.
