Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Padmasambhava's orchestration of the Doctor's expulsion in Episode 6 directly causes the tension and conflict surrounding the Doctor's presence in Episode 7, where the monks debate the Yeti's nature without the Doctor's potential assistance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Padmasambhava's manipulation in Episode 6 ensures the Doctor is removed from the monastery, which sets up the monks' vulnerability to the Yeti robots in Episode 7. This removal directly causes the monks' confusion and lack of understanding about the mechanical nature of the Yeti, as the Doctor's knowledge and skills are notably absent.
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.
