Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Nyssa’s departure from Deva Loka (Kinda) sets up the immediate context for Adric’s reckless misuse of the TSS unit in the TARDIS. The Doctor’s distraction by romantic/colonial tensions (Todd’s withdrawal) may indirectly contribute to his later scolding of Adric, as his focus is divided."

The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the narrative thread of the Doctor’s divided attention and the crew’s transition from one crisis (Kinda) to another (TARDIS malfunctions), highlighting a pattern of systemic instability in the TARDIS under the Doctor’s watch.
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.
