Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deduction of the hexagonal steel plate and the SS Bernice's identity in Episode 5 directly causes Daly's confrontation with the Doctor and Jo in Episode 6, as Daly's inability to perceive the plate's impossibility exposes the Doctor's awareness of the ship's artificiality."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Daly's suspicion in Episode 6 stems directly from the Doctor's earlier deduction about the ship's fabricated reality. Daly's obliviousness to anomalies (like the plate) makes him a persistent enforcer of Vorg's miniscope decorum, creating a continuous obstacle to the Doctor and Jo's escape.
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.
