Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The group's decision to pursue the mysterious creature for shelter in Episode 14 (The Roof of the World) leads to their exposure to the elements, which directly sets up their vulnerability during the sandstorm in Episode 15 (The Singing Sands)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The chain of events—pursuing the creature, encountering Mongols, and the TARDIS's failure—leads to the stranded state that makes the sandstorm (Episode 15) so perilous. Barbara's panic in Episode 15 is a direct consequence of the group's increased exposure and stress from Episode 14.
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.
