Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s vulnerability during Gavrok’s remote strike in Episode 10 (inspired the concussive surge) sets up the need for improvised tactics in Episode 11. The Doctor’s desperate escape and rallying of allies in Episode 11 are direct responses to Gavrok’s relentless pursuit and near-fatal strike."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failed disarmament and the Doctor’s subsequent leadership in rallying the escape (motorcycle, sonic weapon) are direct consequences of Gavrok’s lethal efficiency and pursuit. This carries the conflict arc forward into climax.
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.
