Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's abandonment of Sarah in Episode 13 (due to the TARDIS departing unexpectedly) directly leads to her capture in Episode 14. Her isolation and vulnerability set up the immediate threat she faces in the Space Defence Centre cell."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes a direct cause-and-effect chain where the Doctor's actions (or perceived abandonment) in Episode 13 directly result in Sarah's vulnerable position in Episode 14. It also carries emotional weight, as Sarah's subsequent frustration with the Doctor ('Why did we come back?') is rooted in this prior abandonment.

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.
