Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's revelation from Episode 15 that Jamie, Zoe, and Isobel have gone to the sewers to infiltrate Cybermen positions creates a crisis that causes Benton to actively direct Turner to a manhole entry point in Episode 16."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Benton's tactical knowledge is mobilized in Episode 16 as a direct consequence of the unauthorized mission in Episode 15, showing his continuity as a UNIT corporal executing orders under pressure and adapting to new crisis data (Cybermen entry points).
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.
