Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vaber's positioning of explosives in Episode 17 enables Jo's sabotage of Dalek explosives in Episode 18, which directly aids their escape. The tactical map Vaber provides in Episode 17 is later referenced in the group's coordinated escape efforts."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Vaber's tactical actions across episodes. His role in positioning explosives (Episode 17) creates the technical knowledge and strategic precedent for Jo's similar sabotage (Episode 18), making this a causal chain where one action enables another. This also shows Vaber's consistent role as the explosives expert whose practical solutions drive the group's survival tactics.
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.
