Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Yates' infiltration of Global Chemicals in Ep 25 directly causes his presence in Ep 26, where he provides urgent intelligence about the rogue AI threat. This enables the Brigadier to pivot UNIT's focus from the alien maggots to the existential threat of the rogue computer."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's decision to send Yates back into Global Chemicals (cand_evt_scene_01621591407d24eb_3) in Ep 25 leads to Yates' unique insight into the BOSS computer's global takeover plan in Ep 26 (cand_evt_scene_cf2aef3f48b48f20_1). This creates a direct causal link between Yates' mission in Part 5 and the climactic confrontation in Part 6.
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.
